smooth curled brush blow dry, finished with
straightening irons and some rather nice Redken
serum to seal the finish.
The end result was a sleek, smooth, glossy
straight blow dry that not only survived the
afternoon’s autumn wind but also lasted for a
good three days afterwards, and my hair was so
revived after my treatment that three
separate people asked if I’d had it cut and
coloured – result!
Celebrating its 25th birthday but with no sign of
resting on its laurels and with a clear intention to
train its next generation of staff, here’s to the
future of Harrison’s Hair Team!
After my treatments, I was able to spend a few
minutes with Sue to find out more about the
team, their specialties and what the future has
in store…
How has the business evolved in the last
25 years?
I think the key to our business is ensuring the
whole team has continued training, enabling us
to stay ahead of fashion trends and the latest
styling techniques, as well as keeping the salon
fresh by updating it regularly. Client loyalty is also
key, with many new clients coming through
recommendation. We also try to promote the
business through communications channels such
as social media.
What are your specialties?
Our team comprises professionals in all aspects
of hairdressing, from great cutting skills to colour
technicians and hair extension specialists. We
also pride ourselves in providing high quality
wedding services, from planning the beauty
elements to fabulous hair and make-up on the
day. Another key element is that we also work
hard to take away the stress from the bridal party.
Congratulations on your 25th anniversary how did Harrison’s Hair Team become
established?
What makes your salons/treatments different?
I feel that our guests should probably answer
that one, but we are an established brand, which
hopefully means that whichever salon they’re
visiting the experience should be consistent and
our guests hopefully feel they can trust any of

Thank you! I was working in the industry and
some clients of mine, who were already
established at Evegate, approached us

the team to give them a high-quality, professional
service. We also encourage our guests to “free
roam”, which essentially means that rather than
worrying if they would like to try a different stylist,
we embrace it.
Where do you see Harrison’s Hair Team in
the next five years?
Hopefully even stronger; we have an amazing
team of very hard working, committed and
passionate individuals who pride themselves in
staying ahead of trends and taking pride in making
their clients feel good and want to return. I am
so proud of the whole team’s dedication
and hope that one day they will run Harrison’s
without me.
