I’m Becky, I am 21 years old and a qualified level 3 hair stylist. I’ve been working at Medusa’s for nearly 6 years now and it’s also where I began my career into being a hairdresser. I’ve always been really interested in colouring and more so now as there are so many more creative colours out there to do, also my other favourite thing to do is styling hair, to see my clients leave happy is the best result for me. Clients is another favourite thing of mine within the job because I’ve met so many great people and also welcoming new ones into the salon.

Mandy has worked in the industry for over 30years. Starting her career in a salon at the heart of Colchesters’ town centre. Training with Wella International she achieved distinction in both Perming and Colouring. Mandy went on to train with L’Oreal at the L’Oreal Technical Centre in Kensington, London. This afforded her the opportunity to work with industry leaders such as Anthony Moscolo, Toni&Guy Education and Andrew Collinge.

With over 15 years of hands-on experience in the hairdressing industry, I’ve honed my craft in a wide variety of salons across the UK and beyond. From working as a Style Director at Regis on the High Street, to styling at the prestigious Regis salon in Williams & Griffin’s, and even styling overseas in Darling Harbour, Australia—every role has added new techniques and inspiration to my toolkit.

To elevate my precision cutting skills, I also completed an advanced cutting course at the world-renowned Vidal Sassoon Academy—an experience that refined my eye for detail and deepened my creative approach to shape and structure. I’ve held the position of Salon Manager at the University of Essex salon, where I built strong client relationships and led a vibrant, creative team.

What sets me apart? I’m chatty and love to connect—but I also completely understand when clients prefer a bit of quiet time to unwind during their appointment. I’m all about creating an environment where you feel comfortable.

Before we begin any service, I always take time to talk through your hair goals. Clear communication ensures we’re on the same page—and it gets my creative energy flowing! Hair is more than a job for me—it’s my true passion. I’m so excited to bring that passion to life here at Medusa and can’t wait to help you feel your absolute best.

Fun fact: I once told a joke about split ends… but it didn’t go down too well—it just sort of parted ways.

I’m Danni, a qualified Level 2 hairstylist with a passion for all things hair. My biggest loves in hairdressing are hair extensions and colour—there’s nothing better than creating a transformation and seeing that big smile on my client’s face when they see the final look. That moment honestly makes my day!

When I’m not in the salon, I’m a busy mum to a young boy, and I love spending quality time with my family and friends. Whether I’m creating dream hair or making memories with my little one and partner, I’m always doing what I love!

Can’t wait to welcome you to my chair and work some hair magic!
