MEET EVA

POSITION - Director Stylist

TIME AT MCGILLS - 2 and a half years

Hi I’m Eva and I have worked at McGills for over two and a half years. I love working here! I have worked as a hairdresser for 26 years and I really like the team here. The team consists of 9 Hairdressers, 4 Assistants, a Receptionist and a Salon Manager and we all get on great! There is no atmosphere between the staff ever…genuinely! 

The hours we work are 12 hour shifts for a four day week, and we only work 2 Saturdays a month. We all rotate on shifts. I am part time so my hours work around my home life. I am very busy so I basically make the same money if not more than a full timer. The wage structure makes it possible for you to manage your own column to your advantage. Everything is provided for us to a really high standard to work and in training so all you have to think about is the service you give to your clients. 

We constantly stay in touch with things as a salon and as a team so its forever improving but with all of our input. We have team training, team days out and personal training monthly as well as more tailored training that you decide on in your 1-2-1 meetings. 

We are super busy and only getting busier. Our eco credentials really boost that and we really stick to them. Its the little things with the clients and the level of care we provide as our standards and how well we get on all transfers to the daily atmosphere here.

The team, the clients, sustainability 

Why do you enjoy your job? 
I have loved working at McGills and I'm very sad to leave such a compassionate, friendly and hardworking bunch. The team have been amazing and lifted each other up when times got tough as well as encourage each other when we're doing well. It's been great to work for a salon that has such high standards and professionalism whilst having fun and taking into account sustainability which was always my goal when working in a salon. The clients are also wonderful,  making for a lovely salon atmosphere that feels comfortable to everyone. I will miss them all very much ❤️
