Meet the Team at Oxford Circus.
the pic the blurb

Val, from Malta, is fixture at ColourNation. He was the Soho manager but now steps in to ensure the smooth running of Oxford Circus as well as focusing more time on what he loves most which is hair styling and heading our Creative Team.

He really gets on well with the ladies and if you're at all unsure of your colour or style choice he'll put you right at ease. He's a maestro with Wella colours (see below 2012 Colourist of the Year Finalist) - if he can't create your colour no one can and this makes him the first choice for colour corrections (fixing other salons mistakes / DIY disasters).

Val is often called on for session work and works in the fashion industry with major photoshoots for International high fashion magazines including Oyster and Vogue.

You'll find Val's 'Hair Doctor' advice all over our forums where he tries to help our website visitors with their hair questions.

Val is one of only five finalists for the Colourist of the Year 2012 Award at the 2012 English Hair and Beauty Awards.
