LUKE, SENIOR STYLIST, ELWOOD

“I have been with Organika Hair in Elwood for eight years and have been in the hair industry for over 20 years. In May 2018, I attended a ‘Vidal Sassoon ABC 2’ cutting-course in Santa Monica, Los Angeles. My key takeaways were learning new skills, travel, and meeting other stylists from around the world.” - Luke.

Luke is an Organika Hair family favourite, with an infectious smile and laugh. It’s no wonder that the highlight of his day is to see his clients leave with a smile on their face.
