Our Team
Brenda
Super-stylist sums it up!
The salon and I have been having a hair affair for a while now, over 17 years, in fact, I’m pleased to say that I got to take charge of the place back in 2007 and haven’t looked back, well maybe just for a second to see how far I have come! Hair keeps me interested and no two heads are the same, there are not many jobs that are as social, or give you a great feeling of satisfaction from helping others to look the best they can be. My clients are the type of people who trust my ideas and are confident in my style suggestions. I’m really proud of my team, I see them succeeding and taking on my advice, then go off and develop their own techniques. I know training myself and my team is what creates an environment that clients can trust.

My motivation comes from my desire to give my clients the hair they dream of. I am always looking for new and exciting ways to make people fall in love with their hair!
Through the Gateway programme I was introduced to hairdressing, 8 years on I can say it was a great experience and has seen me through to becoming a qualified stylist!
I spend a lot of time outside of work researching fashion, techniques, and styles that I can bring to my clients. I absolutely love all the Pureology products – the foundation of glamorous looking hair, I can’t wait to find you your favourite.
With change brings a new opportunity to grow, I am excited to work towards the beautiful hair you have always wanted.
See you soon!
Brii
I love making every clients’ visit a positive one! By building great relationships with my clients I can help you achieve your custom hair goals, I can’t wait to listen to your ideas and together we can find the style you are after. I am enthusiastic about my hairdressing career, with one of my proudest moments becoming qualified. I keep up with fashion and enjoy developing my own training by checking out the latest courses and hair events, helping others in the salon also helps me to be the best stylist I can be.
Outside of the salon dancing keeps me energized and passionate !
Chloe
When I started the Gateway program back in 2016 I knew hairdressing was for me. Making people feel happy with their hair brought me joy and that’s a feeling we both can get hooked on ! This year is my 3rd year at WITT finishing my studies and I’m now working almost full time and really enjoying salon life. I am training towards becoming qualified and I’ll need your help – so if you are available for haircuts and colour techniques please don’t hesitate to let me know. I have next generation pricing and discounting on some appointment services to encourage growth and build my clientele. Please get in in touch with me at the salon to find out more!
My proudest hair moment is achieving top student at WITT, and in my spare time I play women’s hockey and have recently began umpiring !
Join the team!
If you are a stylist looking for a new salon dynamic get in touch. Make yourself known by popping in to the salon or if you would prefer confidentiality email Brenda directly on Brendaardern@gmail.com.
Flexible arrangements welcome.
If you are new to hairdressing it doesnt hurt to put yourself out there – so get amongst it!
