Bob Green

Position

Receptionist/Assistant Manager

Number of years working in the hair industry?

2 years

Background / how you got into this industry / travel experiences / something interesting about yourself...

After a stint of work experience in my early teens, I worked as a Jnr. in a midlands based salon for a year. Although it wasn’t my ambition to become a hairdresser I enjoyed the environment and found it a cool place to earn money as a teenager. However, I got back into the business last year after a chance meeting with the Artistic Director of Bob. Bob provided good opportunity to do something different in London and I was happy to get involved

What motivates / inspires you in this industry?

Both the creative and social aspects of working with hairdressers are enjoyable reasons to stay. Additionally, the first and last person a client will encounter in the salon will almost always be the receptionist so it is easy from that position to personalise the service and build a good rapport with the people who use Bob

What do you enjoy about your job?

Being part of a dynamic team and having the opportunity to work in a creative environment has worked as inspiration for my own interests outside of work such as music and writing etc. as well as motivated me toward doing what I do in the salon well. Brainstorming concepts for photo shoots is always fun too

Awards and training
