I’m truly passionate about the hair, beauty and barbering industry, which I started some 30+ years ago. I’ve had many salons over the years and have been in Merivale for over fourteen years. During this time I have trained and qualified over 50 apprentice hairdressers and barbers.

‍

Family is a big part of my day to day life. I have two great boys Jackson and Harrison, who have now left home and grown up. Jackson is a Superintendent  Greenkeeper  in Abu Dhabi and passionate golfer, while Harrison is a successful real estate agent and a qualified builder. I also have three lovely stepdaughters, three grandchildren, a son-in-law and a daughter-in-law. My husband Mike and I lead a busy life, but in our spare time we both love gardening, working on house renovations, entertaining with family and friends, dinners out, a wine or two and discovering new places on holidays.

‍

I also belong to a few networking groups where I’ve met many inspiring people, some of whom have become close friends.

‍

To keep everything running smoothly in the business I split my time on the floor doing clients, admin, marketing, staff training and working on my design brand Victoria Jane.

‍

I feel very fortunate to have a really great team I work with on a daily basis, everyone gets on really well and has great respect for one another. Having been in the industry a while now I’ve seen a lot of changes and I love learning new things. As a Master stylist, I’m really passionate about giving clients fabulous hair colours and styles that suit their look and lifestyle.

I worked with the company as an Executive Stylist for 5 years, then moved into a management position for the last 5 years. I’m born and raised in Christchurch.

My favourite past time is to travel and I’ve been lucky enough to visit many beautiful countries around the world……. Christchurch will always be home for me though.

I am a real home body when I’m not at work and love to create beautiful spaces and rooms with all the interesting bits I have collected from my joy of shopping, an eclectic look but everything has its space. We are currently busy planning some big renovation work on our home also, very exciting.

I enjoy gardening, swimming and lately have taken up aqua jogging with my mum…whom I love dearly. My Partner is Jabz, he is British and introduced me to travelling, we also enjoy going to the pictures and soaking in the hot pools at New Brighton. We can catch up chat and right all the wrongs of the World while sitting in those pools.

My job at V for Hair and Beauty suits my natural need to organize people and things and my desire to keep everyone happy and the wheels running smoothly.

Luckily I have an awesome Boss, an amazing team to work with and a great clientele thatkeeps bringing in new challenges for us to tackle and achieve daily.
