Having spoken with Selina the passion she has for her chosen career path was evident “I always dreamt of being someone who could help other women to look better and feel better. I meet new people and learn new things every day. This is what I love to do. Can you imagine doing what you love and doing it every day? That is a good life.”
When asked about her biggest achievement to date, Selina described her experience of working with model and Bollywood actress Jacqueline Fernandez. “It was an absolute pleasure to meet Jaqueline and work on such a beautiful face. She is a lovely person and very friendly. Anyone would feel comfortable to be around her.”

The penultimate day focuses on hair techniques and on the final day students take part in a portfolio session with a professional photographer. When asked who her preferred designers are for the portfolio days Selina confirmed outfits and accessories are sourced from Thexeeb London and Kyles Collection.
