Paula Torres
Leading Educator
My name is Paula Torres and I originate from Brazil. This is where I studied and perfected my craft, which has been in my family for two generations.
My passion started when I used to watch my mother and grandmother transforming their clients for the world famous “Rio Carnival”. Since moving to London my aim has always been to bring the Latino Glamour to London in a fun and ostentatious way and to ensure hair technicians are trained to the best of their ability, by providing incredible extensions, colour match of extensions, the original Brazilian Hair Botox and Brazilian Blow Dries.
I am an expert within the industry of applying and teaching all types of hair extensions, but in particular, the new sensation of strand-by-strand application, commonly known in Brazil as the “Brazilian Knots”. I am also the supplier of real Brazilian human hair, which is light in weight and is easy to attach. With the correct care, the Brazilian hair I supply can have a duration of up to two years. I have been called by my clients the Queen of Brazilian Blow-dries and Extensions.
My client list is not exclusive to the UK market it extends from jurisdictions such as New York, Germany, France, Kenya and Dubai So, if you want to become an expert in this field, and be trained by the best professionals in the business, then you need to book onto one of our courses.
