Ria began hairdressing at Guildford College of Technology, Guildford, Surrey in her late teens. After two years at the college, Ria decided that she would like to train in a top salon in the Big Smoke. After trawling the salons of London, asking for work, she was seen by a top stylist of a London salon, one of the eminent leading light's on Londons hair scene. Her apprenticeship started and so was taught her trade by one of the forefathers of the modern Hairdressing industry.
Ria has travelled extensively and has worked in many a salon in parts of the world that civilised man hasn't reached yet but also letting our New York, Australian and Thai friends have the pleasure of Ria's expertise. Ria also dabbled in the film industry but due to other commitments had to concentrate on her core business of Freelance.
