Within 30 years, I feel lucky to have achieved many of my personal goals within my hairdressing career, these include Salon Management, Photographic work, Fashion shows, Bridal hair and Teaching Hairdressing up to NVQ Level 3.
I am now in the process of combining all of these skills into the teaching, directing and management side of the constantly growing, Hair Health and Beauty Business - Yume, a vision of a concept that makes people look and feel their best - all under one roof. I am, these days, often found deep behind the scenes. Working on the next big salon project, promotion, or training session. Keeping the growing team fully equipped with the up - to - date knowledge and guidance they need, to always go that extra mile, for our very important Yume clients.
I thrive on making a difference to the way people look and feel, and enjoy a lengthy consultation where I can advice the very best products to maintain healthy and beautiful looking hair.
With over 20 years as a fashion buyer / store manager of menswear and womenswear stores, I felt it was about time I put all that experience into an exciting challenge of my own... Creating Yume - Yume - The Rhydypenau Salon and Yume - The Cathays Salon, along side my wife Giovanna. I am the Financial Director of Yume Hair and Beauty but you can find me front of house on weekends, where I use my knowledge of superb customer care and management skills to drive Yume forward. Ensuring the Yume team are delivering high standards, within fun and professional surroundings, 5 star customer service and highly trained stylists are paramount to my ethos of a premium salon in a exclusive location with the right ambience in creating the dream you.
As a stylist in this industry, my 30 years of experience has equipped me with a diverse range of knowledge and skills that I enjoy sharing day to day, with my team and with the clients. Creating a positive and nurturing experience within the salon, not only with the team and their personal development but importantly with the clientele is an essential focus for me. I take great pleasure seeing stylists and assistants happy with their work and clients walking out of our doors feeling amazing with a spring in the step!
I relish the chance to explore the new trends and techniques with clients, sharing anything new or inspiring. Tailoring my cutting, colour work and advice to suit my clients style, lifestyle, skin tone and seasonal needs is continually rewarding, whether its subtle or of a re-inventive nature.
Weddings are a big part of my work and creativity, being part of the planning and preparation of the bride and her party for the big day, is always highly rewarding. For me, styling a brides hair becomes art, a sculpture and an enjoyable challenge.
I’ve been in the hairdressing industry for 27 years now and still absolutely love it! I started my journey as an apprentice at Vidal Sassoon, training and qualifying as a stylist..after 10 years at the company I decided to have a change and completed the Tony & Guy training .. I worked there for several years before starting my own business..a salon on the outskirts of cardiff city centre. Taking some out then to have my children I then moved on to teaching my trade and thoroughly enjoying passing on my knowledge and experience.. so present day, I’m working at Yume/uni salons and loving my new chapter.. I enjoy the hustle and bustle of life in the students union.. I’m lucky to be able to to stretch my creativity with the student clientele.. I’ve also received a massive amount of training with Wella and our very own colour master. Also completed some amazing colour courses in the Wella studios including an advanced balayage course...
My name is Samantha, everyone knows me as Sam. I’ve been hairdressing for 19 years. My passion as a young girl was art, I loved being creative, so I took my artistic side to the hairdressing industry. I love to keep up with the latest trends and love to do so within our Wella training sessions at the salon and also away at the Wella Studios in London and Manchester. I specialise in balayage colour and creative cutting. I’m very passionate about my work and my clients needs. I have been given the best opportunity to work with the fabulous Yume company and the fantastic team. Everyone knows me as happy and bubbly Sam. I love going that extra mile for clients!

My name is Niamh and I have been working for Yume for 3 years. I have completed my level 2 and now going into level 3 to progress my skills. During my apprenticeship I have gained so much confidence and skills from working with this amazing team. I am now a stylist at uni hair salon and I am loving every minute of it. I have so many opportunities to grow as a stylist with weekly training and courses. I love being creative and having fun with my clients, I can’t wait to see what the next few years bring for me at Yume.
I am an apprentice at Yume and I love it, I love the atmosphere and how happy everyone always is. I work at both Salons and they are both such fun, I treat them like a second home. Part of my role is to clean and make sure the salon is sparkling at all times... which it is! My favourite part is shadowing the stylists an observing their every move while they are working. I am so grateful that I’m a part of the team and I know I have many years to come within the salon.
I am from Poland where I have completed my Bachelor degree in Cosmetology in 2013. Since then I had the opportunity to work in various different beauty salons learning new treatments and expanding my knowledge in holistic beauty. I was always passionate to help my clients look and feel as the best version of themselves.
My great passion is Microblading, semi permanent make up in which Hyper realistic hair strokes technique is used to create long lasting and the most natural eyebrows.
As a cosmetologist I always wish for my clients to enjoy my treatments, look forward to time to relax and have a friendly chat where I can make you look and feel beautiful.
