About this employer

First meeting at primary school, both friends went on to train with the prestigious Umberto Giannini. After achieving Regional L’Oréal colour trophy finalists twice, and gaining professional experience at a number of leading Midlands salons, the pals decided to go it alone and launch their own brand. Phinix pride themselves on offering the highest standard of customer service and strive to keep up with the newest colour technologies, the latest cutting techniques and the best products.
