Simone Hockey - Manager
Simone is McCarthy's leading lady at our Blackwood salon. With
over 25 years experience, Simone really knows the industry well.
Upon qualifying as a hairdresser, Simone joined the McCarthy's team
where she started off life as a stylist before graduating to
manageress.
During her time at McCarthy's Simone has been on quite a
journey. She has achieved NVQ Level 3 and attended Ystrad Mynach
College to further train at foundation degree level and obtained a
PGCE. She now uses this qualification to support and coach
not only her own team but the teams of colleagues at McCarthy's
Ebbw Vale and Crickhowell salons.
She has also been lucky enough to train down in London at
Clynol's ASK Academy and take part in many salon based course which
are also ran by the hairdressing brand. She feels that in a fast
changing industry which moves with fashion trends it's important to
keep on top of these things.
Simone loves working at McCarthy's and has a strong based
clientele who have also become close friends of hers over the
years. She is lucky enough that she still enjoys coming to work
every day just as much as she did 25 years ago as each day is an
exciting new challenge for her.
