Gemma is a third-year apprentice at our Kippax Street location. She grew up in Camden and has recently moved to Wollongong, meaning she travels 3.5 hours to work daily as she believes it is totally worth it! Gemma is currently completing her training at that Kippax Street Salon, where she loves creating beachy and textural waves. A quote that has stuck with her is “everything happens for a reason” hence why it is so important to remember that everything that happens in your life is for a purpose.
