Rafaela Semedo

I am a friendly, respectful and motivated person with a genuine passion for wig styling and beauty. I have around two years of hands-on experience working with wigs, initially practising on myself and later styling wigs for close people. Over time, I have developed a strong interest in wig styling and recently developed my skills further by learning how to create curls on wigs.

I am now looking for my first opportunity to gain professional experience in a salon environment, learn from experienced stylists and continue improving my techniques. I am hardworking, well-presented, eager to learn and take pride in producing neat and creative work. I also have around one and a half years of experience working as a cashier in my family's Italian pizzeria.

This gave me valuable experience communicating with customers, understanding their needs and making sure they were treated politely and respectfully. I am confident speaking to clients and understand the importance of creating a welcoming and professional experience.
