Our Story
Hairdressing is our Passion
64 years ago, Founding Chairman, Clive Barrett started out as a Hairdressing Apprentice having decided it would be a creative and interesting career. Just 7 short years later, at the age of 27, Clive opened his first salon in Yate, Bristol. Having always wanted to be his own boss (and not being very good at being told what to do!) owning his own salon was the obvious choice.
After gaining a large clientele that was growing too big for one salon, Clive opened a further salon in Yate and so started a chain reaction of, as it stands today, 13 salons across Brockworth, Bristol and Birmingham.
But Clive didn’t stop there. He realised that, without regular training to keep his Team at the forefront of the industry, his success would be short lived. So, utilising his entrepreneurial spirit, he opened his own Academy firstly in Bristol and later in Birmingham which today, welcome over 1000 students per week from multiple hairdressing chains and individual salons.
