Employer Description:
Silk Trends was founded in 2007 by Ingrid Farrell and her daughter Dionne. It was a dream come true for Mother and Daughter team originally from Manchester, whose initial idea of opening the hairdressers in Chingford came from realising there were no professional quality hairdressing services in the area for the local community. Having lived in Chingford for four years previously to opening the hairdressing salon, Ingrid knew all too well the problems of finding a reputable hairdresser in the area, and many times had to travel far afield to seek the professional hair services she required. We wanted to bring a well needed professional service to the area that was lacking for local people of different cultures, and cater for all hair types”, says Ingrid. Silk Trends not only provides expert hairdressing services in a relaxing and friendly atmosphere; We use high quality professional styling products, provide detailed home care advice, and make sure you have the knowledge to maintain your new hair style between salon visits.
