Just the other
madly hectic Saturday I stopped to reflect on the truly
marvellous work going on in the salon - and it took my
breath away. For it wasn't just the great work or the
fabulous, almost theatrical atmosphere or even the kicking
music that thrilled me - but that this was normal for
Stage One and that my dream of creating a 'World within
a shop' is here. It's in wonderful Bond Street and I love
It!
Thank you to all our loyal customers and fans for making
us the true alternative to false and pretentious prophets
of hairdressing who don't realise that when all is said
and done its all about YOU the customer, YOUR hair and
YOUR satisfaction that keeps our business improving and
getting more enjoyable even though it's our fifteenth
year of trading.
Thank you Brighton! |

I started
working with hair at 13, and even then realised that
the pretentious side of hairdressing was not for me.
My main question throughout my early career (and still
is!) was 'WHY??'
My mentor was a top hair stylist in show, theatrical
and photographic productions. He showed me through show,
TV, competition work - and even a course in trichology
(the science of hair and scalp) - that I could do it
as well as him, if not better! I also learnt that communication
is the most important part of hairdressing. I have run
my own salons, and trained many other successful hairdressing
professionals - passing on my unparalleled knowledge
of colour and cut to others.
Neil and I have crossed paths many times over the
last 15 years, have grown in hairdressing together;
we have a similar philosophy of hairdressing - so when
he asked me to join the team, it seemed right. Still
crazy about hair after all these years. I was never
happy in the chorus line - I like to be centre stage
and my performance is fabulously original. |

I used to be
a manager for cabaret shows: styling, make-up, hair and
performing were all my forte. The more I worked in theatre,
the more I could see that hairdressing would become my
full-time career so it was no coincidence that I chose
Stage One as the ideal arena for my hair and make-up skills.
Through hard work and self-belief I achieved top hairdressing
qualifications and began building my name and reputation.
I strive for classic beautiful work and if my client is
happy then so am I - and they always are!

I started working in Stage One in 2005. I love cutting hair, getting to know my clients, and changing people's lives. I love the theatrical edge of Stage One - it's right next door to the Theatre Royal stage door, which means that we get a lot of clients from the theatrical world.
I started hairdressing at 15. My favourite work is creating funky looks. I love the difference that colour makes to your hair, and enjoy doing creative, modern styles.
I often sing and dance when I'm cutting hair - and I'm working my way to the front of the stage where there are no boundaries - and I'm ready to take a lead role.

My mum has been a Stage One customer for 10 years,
and I always used to come and watch the stylists while she was having her hair done. I knew
from then that I wanted to be a hairdresser, and a successful one.
I am a bubbly and very friendly person. I love people and enjoy chatting with my clients. I enjoy
cutting different styles and colouring, and I find it very rewarding to see the end results.
It's exciting to try out new fabulous looks - and that's why I'm glad I work at Stage One!

Hi, I'm Riley and I have worked at Stage One since 2006.
I love the fun and relaxed atmosphere, it'a a great place to work!
I love to create new looks and keep up-to-date with the latest fashions. I trained at Northbrook
College and since I qualified I have grown from strength to strength. I get a massive high from giving
people a Good Hair Day!

Having been a nail tech for 11 years I still love the variety
of clients that come to me. I like not knowing what the day holds or who's going to come through the door.
Nails are my passion!
I specialise in acrylic and I also enjoy pedicures and waxing. I also have a fantastic spray tan machine
which as well as giving a great tan is also a safer way of getting colour.
I'm a lively and fun person so working at Stage One suits me perfectly, as Neil and the gang are as mad as me!
