We had a catch up with Jacqui Victor, salon owner of True Grit, and creator of the ‘wow-factor’ for our clients. With a wealth of knowledge and experience along with a fair few tales to tell, she’s a hoot you want to get to know! TG: How did you get started and when? JV: In the ’80s. 1985 to be exact.
