If you’re looking for a reminder on why you wanted to be a hairdresser then this conversation will be the perfect listen. It will make you reconnect with the endless opportunities a hairdressing career can give you. You’ll hear Christel share her inspiring story of how she moved from her native Sweden to London as a teenager in 1999 and learn how she has grasped every opportunity since!

With an ambition of wanting to have an outstanding and successful career in hairdressing, by jiminy, Christel has certainly done just that. Having an innate sense of style, creative flair and technical skill, she has emerged as one of the industry’s most influential colour experts.

Winning numerous awards including the prestigious British Hairdressing Awards British Colour Technician of the Year Award, three times, Christel has also worked as a brand ambassador for international product houses including Wella Professionals and now, at TIGI, as Global Creative Technical Director for the last four years.

What comes over heaps in this conversation today is Christel’s love for everything she does in hairdressing and her salon business. Adopting her nordic aesthetic and style to both her hairdressing and business has helped Christel create an identity thats the cornerstone of everything she does. I love this and how she’s always surrounded herself with inspirational people. Interviewing Christel today has made me look back to why I originally fell in love with hairdressing, and I know it will do the same for you today. Let’s dive in!
