Gemma

Director

My name is Gemma, and I’ve been with Tikadi since the very beginning which is 14 years now. Working here ticks every box for me , I love the location, the job that I do, the team I work with and Michael is great to work for. I specialise in cut and colour and pride myself in offering outstanding customer service. Tikadi has been awarded excellent customer service at the Essex business awards to which the team are extremely proud of. I used to work alongside Michael in Loughton years ago I then moved to London for a period of time at Harrods Urban Retreat before returning locally to join tikadi. My hair care tip would be to accept what you have and make the most of it by trusting the professional advice of your stylist.

 

Jina

Creative Director

Hi I’m Jina and I have been at Tikadi for 12 years now. I specialise in colour , I love the instant transformation , it really gets my mind going. Team Tikadi are brilliant to work with and I’m proud to be part of this award-winning team. Before hairdressing I studied art, it’s where I get my creativity from, which I express in my colour techniques. What I love most about my job is the banter with my clients , I learn new things every day and often not related to hair at all….. My hair care tip would be to make sure you use good products such Olaplex , healthy hair = amazing hair.

 

Hannah

Director

Hi, I’m Hannah and I have been at Tikadi since the day we opened back in March 2007. I specialise in all aspects of hairdressing, but I particularly enjoy short cuts and colour. I particularly enjoy styling brides for their very special day. I chose to follow my career in hairdressing as I just love to make people feel fabulous, there’s no feeling like it. I won the Schwarzkopf young artistic team award in 2011 and the Schwarzkopf best gent at the creative team awards in 2012, it was amazing to be part of this team ! My best hair care tip is ‘Olaplex, protecting and strengthening your hair in a way, no other product can do, it really is the way forward.

 

Maria

Director

My name is Maria and I have been with Tikadi for over 12 years. My clients are amazing, and we have forged great relationships during this time. I am a good all-rounder as I have a variety of clients requiring many varied techniques, I love working here as the team get along so well, we have been working together closely for years. For me, hairdressing was the only career I wanted to do, I simply love it when a client leaves the salon feeling great and confident because of the work we do. My must have product is Moroccan oil , as it's for all hair types and works equally well for conditioning and styling on everyone.

Chloe

Stylist Director

Hi, I’m Chloe and I have been here now for over 13 years. I specialise in styling, hair ups and blow drying but thoroughly enjoy all aspects of my work. I love working here and the team I work with , in-fact two of the team members were my bridesmaids and my clients are all incredible to. I chose hair dressing as a career as it literally is something different every day, each client is individual, and every day provides something interesting in a different way. My hair care tip is to always use a heat protector spray such as Wella’s style & protect.
