Talked out of hairdressing when he left school, it took Richie 10 years to find a way to follow his heart. Since then it's been all systems go: shaping the team's talents, leading them to the finals of the L'Oreal Men's Image Awards and being asked by grooming company Wahl to run demonstrations for them. Richie loves getting creative with men's hair.

Bev's a bit of a perfectionist. And not just about hair. As well as going on regular courses to stay on top of her cutting & colouring game, she's the mastermind behind the shop's fresh & funky decor; loves helping our team reach their potential; and adding a bit of colour to people's lives to make sure they look and feel great.

Ellie loves bringing Hollywood sex appeal to full and flowing locks, an interest that began when she was learning to tame her own. That said, with over 15 years experience – six running her own salon - and training with the likes of Trevor Sorbie and L'Oreal she can turn her hand to anything hair-related. A keen baker, Ellie's been known to bring in the odd home-made treat into the salon.

You can't keep the girl away. Emily trained at the salon and worked for 3 years as a stylist - notching-up competition success as a semi-finalist in the Weller Trend Awards. She's recently returned from her travels down-under to continue her career at the salon.

Charley brings loads of colour to the salon. And we're not just talking about her bubbly personality. She loves developing new colours, working with clients to find exactly the right shade for them, and the buzz of giving people something new. When it comes to styling, she's another glamour girl who loves to work with big hair.

Emma always keeps them coming back for more. Most of her male and female clients are regulars who value her eight years of styling experience. Emma loves providing the whole service of colouring and cutting hair and seeing a client's whole image transformed by the finished result.

Lee runs the reception and with a winning smile and sense of humour, he loves to see others happy. As well as being the Salon Co-ordinator he understands hair very well and has a keen eye for detail and quality. Lee also attends a hair academy where he is training to be a stylist which is something that he has always been very keen to pursue as a career.
