Story of the Month  My mum, brother, & me As Mother's Day approaches, I can't help but think of my mum and all the wonderful memories I have of her. She was a huge part of how I became a hairstylist. As a young girl I enjoyed going to the salon with my mum in North London where I grew up.   The salon that she went to was a small salon called Robert Jeffries. I loved it there; I loved the smells, the chatter, the sound of the hairdryers, the gossip, the jokes, and of course the way they did my mum's hair.   Later, when I became a teenager I got my very first job as a Saturday Girl at Robert Jefferies Salon and I was in heaven.   I learned how to shampoo, how to greet the clients, I made cups of tea, swept up the hair, took out the rollers. I also learned how to blow dry and style for the hairstylists following a haircut; a must do at the time since Vidal Sassoon was becoming all the rage. It was out with the roller set, in with the brush and blow dryer!
