Meet the team

Dominick Flynn

Dominick is the co-founder of Blaze.  He never stops striving to keep Blaze at the top.  To achieve this he has developed an intensive in-house training programme to keep his stylists and staff abreast if not ahead of the latest techniques in hairdressing by teaching and encouraging his styling team to be at their best.  He invites other top hairstylists from throughout the country to come and work with him and the team on a regular basis.

Raymond

Raymond has been with Blaze for over 15 years.  As the saying goes "the cream rises to the top".  With a strong and varied clientele and a hunger for learning this has enabled Raymond to participate in many courses globally and nationally, as far as Los Angeles and as near as London.  As well as being the leading colour advisor in the salon he is a fully qualified educator and NVQ Assessor.  Raymond brings depth and dimension to Blaze.

Lee

Lee discovered Blaze 7 years ago as the place where he wanted to be.  Dominick was impressed with Lee's professionalism and attitude the minute they met.  While still working as a freelance hairstylist in another town, Lee dedicated his days off to work with Dominick and to perfect his craft.  Lee has taken many courses during his time at Blaze, which has led him to showcase his work at the annual Salon International in London and more recently in New York.  He is a key member of Blaze and is heavily involved with the training and development of the rest of the team encouraging them to learn more and push their creative minds on his design nights.

Rachel

We are happy to say Rachel has been with Blaze for 13 years, and as well as being an excellent stylist she is a proud mother of a lovely daughter!  She is currently working 4 days a week in the salon and assists greatly with the guidance of the younger team members.  Rachel is a qualified NVQ Assessor and helps Dominick with the on-going training programme in the salon.

Debbie Jegge

Debbie is our intern from Switzerland for the next 6 months.  She has completed 3 years training to achieve her European hairdressing qualifications in Switzerland.  Debbie will spend the next 6 months on our intensive training programme and attend the local college to improve her English language.  She is always willing and open to achieve more.  Furthermore she is also fluent in the Swiss German language which adds another dimension to Blaze.

Joshua

Having lived in Costa Rica for many years, Joshua realised upon returning to the UK that Blaze was the only place to be to gain the necessary qualifications for his hairdressing career.  He has spent the last 3 years becoming a competant colour technician at Blaze and has excelled in his cutting training.  He is now fully qualified and is becoming a much sought after stylist in the salon.  Fluent in Spanish and always ready to help you, Joshua is an asset to the team.

Courtney

Having just finished her NVQ 2 in hairdressing in record time at the local Warwickshire College, (where she was student of the year for the 2nd year running), Courtney knows what she wants and doesn't let anything stand in her way of becoming a sylist!  Ambitious, creative and brimming with enthusiasm, Courtney has her eyes firmily set on her prize...something tells me she will be a stylist soon...so watch this space!

Emily

Emily is a colour technician and assists the rest of the team at Blaze.  She has already completed her level 2 in hairdressing in Coventry, but her training was basic and wants to get cutting on the salon floor.  She came to Blaze to improve her skills and get the extra tuition she needs, Emily trains every Tuesday in the salon with Dominick and Lee and is currently working on her NVQ level 3.
