Led by Schwarzkopf Professional ambassador Suzie McGill and previous #SKPCollective member Alix Maher, Ignite has been formed to help emerging hairdressing talents take their career to the next level. The progrmme includes training days, shoots and education, all designed to help the members finesse their skills in hair, social media and profile building.
“We are so excited to be offering this new opportunity to Schwarzkopf Professional salons in the Republic of Ireland, and were delighted to have had so many fantastic entries,” said Kay Brady, Henkel’s national PPS manager for the UK and Ireland.
“Our final team were chosen for their impeccable hairdressing, creativity and social media skills, as well as their own unique strengths and specialities. They have already shown so much talent and potential and have bonded perfectly as a team. We can’t wait to build on their skills and grow their profile as they go from strength to strength as a dynamic team of talented individuals.”
