About Me

Hi my name is Gillian Roslan-Oates 

From a very young age I just instinctively loved hair.

I was constantly wanting to create different looks and styles. It intrigued me how people can look completely different with the right creative guidance to transform from a tired and dated style to WOW! So, this was the motivation and the start of my journey

Working in a salon after school, I very quickly developed as a senior stylist working in a prestigious salon in Nantwich, Cheshire.  I consistently developed engaging in CPD to ensure that I was always challenging myself to be at the cutting edge of current and emerging trends, which remains my ongoing passion as a highly experienced professional.

When my daughter started high school, i decided it was time for me to embark upon the next stage of my journey as a freelance stylist. Ultimately it was time for me to impart my knowledge and educate and inspire young people who have the same passion that I had all those years ago. 

At my first competition, I was amazed and humbled to receive 1st place in my category.

This further motivated me to achieve two assessor qualifications and it was a very proud day when I obtained my teaching degree, all this whilst still maintaining my fantastic client base. 

I now work with a number of colleges delivering CPD to both professional staff and students, and I love judging competitions as it reminds me of my own journey.
