Shantay

Hi, my name is Shantay.  I’m really excited to have joined the Afrotherapy team. 

My Journey Into Hairdressing:
At the age of 15, I was passionate about 2 things.  I loved sports and I loved hairdressing.  I was a sprinter and part of the netball ball competing at various competitions.  I remember driving with my Dad to the careers open day at school and we talked about doing sports as my option.  I got to the hall and for some reason I was drawn to the hairdressing table.  I had a conversation with the tutors and I was sold and so began my journey into this amazing industry.  My Dad was surprised as our whole conversation was about Sports but he has always been supportive of my decision to get into hairdressing instead and I have had no regrets.

What I Love About Hairdressing:
I love people and I love helping people and hairdressing also allows me to express my creativity.  Since 15, it’s all I’ve done and I can’t see that changing.  My passion is colour and I want to be able to educate my clients on how to colour and keep their hair healthy. 
I also love the constant change and evolution in hairdressing and being able to help my clients with their personal style.
Ultimately, I would like to be a Hairdressing Educator, supporting the next generation of hairdressers.

Courses & Qualifications:
Level 2 Hairdressing
Currently doing Level 3 Hairdressing
Certificate in Colour & Balayage
Certified Expert in Fabriq Smoothing Systems

I look forward to meeting you.

What A Few of Shantay’s Clients Have To Say…

Aaron

Shantay was very lovely and accommodating with the hair colouring service. My hair colour looks nice and I will definitely revisit again some time.

Simone Rocker

As a new slightly apprehensive customer due to bad experiences with previous hairdressers not achieving my desired hair colour, I booked in for a consultation. Shantay made me feel extremely at ease, was polite and clear on the process and the outcome that would be achievable for my full head of highlights. One the day of my appointment we discussed the different options and what would work best for me and from start to finish I throughly enjoyed the experience and the finished results. From the advice given on how best to care for the colour to recommendations on products to use for some breakages I have been dealing with. I have now found my regular hairdresser and would highly recommend visiting Afrotherapy and if you are considering colour or colour correction Shantay is your girl!
