Kim is our previous salon owner and started hairdressing back in 2001. Since she opened the salon in 2009, Kim has built a strong and passionate team. In 2014, she completed the Wella Master Colour Expert qualification, one of the most prestigious intensive colour courses in the industry. This has allowed Kim to bring the invaluable education back to the team, so every client can benefit. Kim no longer works "behind the chair" on clients, due to health issues, she recently gave up the salon and still visits regularly.
Carrie joined the team in 2012 as a trainee hairdresser and has since gained her level two and level three qualification in hairdressing, alongside a multitude of short courses. Her cutting and colouring work is exceptional, which is reflected in her large client base. Carrie had her first child in August 2017 and splits her time between working and spending time with her little girl, Aubrey.
Sharon, the new owner of Mandarin, is stepping into this exciting chapter with over 15 years of experience working alongside Kim and the team. Having built her career as a self-employed chair renter within the salon, she knows the space, the clients, and the team inside out—making her transition into ownership a natural one.
Choosing to keep the name Mandarin was an easy decision. It’s a name clients know and trust, reflecting years of great service and strong relationships.
With over 20 years of experience as a hair stylist, Sharon truly loves what she does. For her, it’s not just about hair—it’s about connecting with people. She enjoys meeting new clients while also catching up with those she’s known for years, creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere for everyone who walks through the door.
Outside of work, Sharon values her time with family and friends. As a proud working mum, she especially cherishes being able to balance her career with spending quality time with her little boy.
Sharon is incredibly grateful for this next chapter in her career and is looking forward to welcoming all clients—both familiar and new—into the salon.
