What would you say is the most important part of the service you give? Everything I do is important. From the consultation to the fitting of my client’s system needs to be attentive and special. They put so much trust into everything I do so it has to be perfect. What can a client expect from a consultation with you? Our consultations are private and one to one. With my experience I discuss in detail their current situation and provide them with the best possible options. Why hair loss? I thrive on creating a completely different look for my clients, giving them confidence and changing their lives. I love helping people, it’s very rewarding. Who inspires you? I would say my clients and myself inspire me every day, I’ve achieved so much in my career and my personal life I can only go upwards from here. Where do you see yourself in 10 years time? I just want to reach out to as many people suffering and support them through their journey, hair loss is such a tough subject but it doesn’t have to be. What makes a good hair system? Every hair system is custom-made to our client’s need and wants. Finding the perfect colour, style to suit them and making them glow. Best part of your job? This is a hard question as I am so passionate about every single aspect of my career! Seeing my client’s reaction after they see the end result is priceless.

What can a client expect from a consultation with you? JOSEPH: An in-depth conversation to determine their hair history and desired results, their likes and dislikes and to make sure they have realistic expectations. What’s the best advice you have been given? HANNAH: Try and remember one thing about each client you see. What’s your top tip to share with clients? JOSEPH: Invest in salon professional products for home haircare, it really makes a massive difference. HANNAH: Always trust a good hairdresser’s advice. Why hairdressing? HANNAH: I’ve always loved hairdressing, I enjoy my clients leaving the salon feeling like a million dollars. If you could cut anyone’s hair who would it be? JOSEPH: Julia Davis because I think she’s the funniest person on the planet, and I would love to spend a couple of hours with her. Do you prefer trend lead styles or classic? JOSEPH: I live for trend lead colours but I love cutting classic timeless styles. HANNAH: Classic cut, as most trend led styles are a version of a classic cut. What’s the secret to a good haircut.? JOSEPH: Don’t create something the client can’t style themselves. What’s the secret behind a good colour? HANNAH: Understanding your clients wishes and knowing their previous colour history.

Also lots of laughs...the salon is really sociable with our super-friendly team (also, the free prosecco and beer helps). What can a client expect from a consultation with you? ZOEY: Honesty! If we don’t think it’ll work or look good then we’ll advise you of this and look at other options. How big are your scissors? LIAM: It’s what you do with them that counts.... If you had free rein on a client, what cut would you go for? CHRIS: I’m lucky that clients have a lot of trust in me and we change their hair every few visits, even subtle changes give clients a confidence boost! Why did you choose hairdressing? CHRIS: The first fashion show I assisted on I was 14 and fell in love with the industry and creativity behind it. Who inspires you? GINA: My team and clients that leave feeling and looking amazing. Where do you see yourself in 10 years’ time? GINA: With this team having expanded into other areas of the south west. Possibly a training academy and a local fashion show What’s the secret to a good haircut?
GINA: Communication... listening to what the client wants. If they say take an inch off. You only take an inch off! What’s the secret behind a good colour? BRYONY: It totally depends on what the client wants and what their lifestyle is. If somebody wants higher maintenance/ high fashion hair colours they have to be ready to maintain it themselves as well. Using the right shampoos, and products. And listening to what your hairdresser recommends you do! Do you prefer trend-led or classic styles? ELAINE: Classic styles are always nice to do, but keeping up on trend is really important as that¹s the way the hair and fashion industry is going. Being able to do both is always a pleasure! Best part of your job? TEAM: Making people feel good
