From his success in the freelance world, Raymond decided to open his own boutique salon in Sydney, Australia to give his clientele a truly personal and unique level of hair salon experience. The next progression was to take this knowledge and experience to a larger salon group which led Raymond to relocate from Sydney to Auckland, New Zealand to take up a position with New Zealand’s most reputable and long-standing salon group.
