ELLA ABAZI

REGIONAL EDUCATOR

Ella Abazi brings over 20 years of experience to the team, as a dedicated hairdresser, with 13 years as a successful salon owner. Her passion for working with brands she truly loves and
believes in has been a driving force throughout her career.

Throughout her career, Ella has
collaborated with major, market-leading brands, always seeking to deepen her knowledge and expertise. Six years ago, her supplier recognized her talent and asked her to work with one of their brands, which she was already using in her
salon. This opportunity marked her formal introduction into education—a field she now considers vital to the success of her salon and others.

From her first meeting with REF
Stockholm, Ella was captivated by the look, fragrance, and exceptional quality
of REF Stockholm products. She knew immediately that she wanted to be part of the
team.

Today, Ella continues to inspire and share her passion for the brand with others through education.
