Katy Adamson : Art Team Member
Katy has been a member of the Saks Art Team for 6 years and is based at the Saks Northern Academies in Darlington.
With over 20 years experience in the hairdressing industry, Katy has worked at large city centre salons in the UK and abroad (where?) and still enjoys working at Saks Tees Barrage, when she’s not busy with her Art Team schedule.
Katy works with the Saks Art Team on photo shoots for Saks collections and magazines, is involved with the production of Saks training DVDs, works back stage on fashion shows and presents on stage at shows and seminars.
“I love working with the Saks Art Team,” says Katy. “We have regular brainstorming sessions. It’s great fun - we fire out lots of different concepts, run with them, play with them, and critique each other, which is hugely productive.”
Katy teaches the Simply Saks course, the award-winning Saks Academies’ classic collection, which ensures high standards across the Saks network are maintained. She enjoys teaching the Advanced Course to Saks stylists and external hairdressers, which works with current seasonal trends and inspires delegates’ creativity, and also teaches Barbering and Hair Up courses.
“I love the challenge of helping learners to conquer their hairdressing fears!” says Katy. “My style of teaching is described by the network and my colleagues as the nurturer! I see myself as down to earth and approachable.”
