Victoria
Director & Salon Manager & Level 6 Stylist & Colourist
Length of Service at Tops: 18 Years

After passing her cutting vardering course in London and working for a well-known salon franchise in Bath for 3 years, Victoria moved to Tops to work with her Mum, Sandra, for the family business. Since joining the team as a Stylist, Victoria has worked her way through the ranks and now manages the salon alongside Sandra and her sister, Alexandra.

Victoria runs an incredibly busy column of clients that is not only testament to her chatty and fun personality but also to her technical ability, expertise and knowledge.  She is always striving to achieve more and learn new skills to bring back to the team.

Victoria’s passion is creating beautiful hair and she believes in conducting thorough consultations in order to create styles that look stunning and will suit a client’s lifestyle and homecare regime.

Throughout her hairdressing career, Victoria has worked for designers at high-profile events at London Fashion week and The Clothes Show.  When she won a place on The Fellowship of British Hairdressing’s ClubStar Art Team and Project X Art Team, Victoria presented models live on stage at Salon International and Professional Hairdresser Live.
