Ciara Onions

Napier,New Zealand

Summary

I have recently moved to Napier from Auckland and am looking for a full-time job. Having previously worked in a hair salon, and completing my level 3 salon support certification at Servilles Academy in February, I have been given the perfect insights of how to work in the hairdressing industry and how much I love it. My experience in retail and customer service, along with my genuine passion for helping people, makes me confident that I'm suitable for this role. I am adept at quickly understanding customer needs, offering tailored recommendations, and resolving issues efficiently and professionally. I thrive in fast-paced environments and am excited about the opportunity to work alongside experienced professionals, where I can contribute with my enthusiasm and dedication, while further increasing my skills. I believe that my positive attitude and willingness to learn will make me a valuable addition to your team.
