I have always been involved in hairdressing ever
since I can remember, because my family owned a
small barber shop, whilst I was growing up, which
was established in 1947. I took an interest in the
salon when I was young and decided it was what I
wanted to do when leaving school, which coincided
with buying a bigger unisex salon. I completed a 3
year apprenticeship whilst competing in hairdressing
competitions. This helped improve my skills and
advertise the salon. I competed for 4 years, initially
in places like Weston-Super-Mare and Blackpool. I
was selected for the British Hairdressing Team,
representing my country in Germany, Austria and
Washington DC for the world hairdressing
championships. I then went to college to gain my
NVQ Level 2.
My long-term plan is to establish the business as a
leading salon in the South West. The best bit about
the job is helping to train other hairdressers and see
their confidence grow over time, also restyling
clients hair and changing their look completely.
When you have a quiet day the hours do tend to
drag. It can be long hours and tiring being on your
feet all day.
I would recommend working in
barbering/hairdressing if you are enthusiastic and
creative. You get to meet new people and it can be
very rewarding.

Beverly C (formerly known as Beverly Cobella) is the
first woman in the hairdressing industry to be
awarded an MBE for services to hairdressing. Her
route in to the hairdressing profession happened
accidentally when she was working at a salon and was
offered the chance to take it over at age 17. By 20
she went in to business and launched her own salon,
Cobella in Mayfair. She has worked as a consultant
creative director for Aveda and Essensuals/TONI &
16

Andrew Collinge began his hairdressing career with
his father, Peter Collinge in Liverpool, 1974. In 1976
he completed his training at the prestigious London
salon MichaelJohn. During his six years at
MichaelJohn he went on to become Artistic Director
representing the company at major hairdressing
events such as World Hair and Salon International.
Along with his wife, they have over 20 years of
working on fashion and hair shows, photo shoots, and
TV shows. In 1993 Andrew Collinge Salon Solutions
hair care products were launched and in 2001 a range
of electrical hair care goods.
Ruby and Millie Internationally acclaimed make-up
artist Ruby Hammer, and Millie Kendall set up their
company in the early nineties and made professional
make-up products available to the masses. They met
whilst Ruby was working as a make-up artist and
Millie worked behind the Shu Uemura counter in
London’s Harvey Nichols. They became friends and
whilst Millie was running her own beauty PR company
they were approached by Boots to work on a beauty
project. As a result they developed a range of over
300 products to suit both the customer and the makeup artist.
Andrew Barton Is the International Creative Director
for Saks, the UK’s leading franchise salon group with
120 salons nationwide and in Belgium. Many will
recognize him for his contributions to the programme
“Ten years younger” and he also appears on GMTV.
On the catwalk he has worked on fashion shows for
Versace, Prada, and Calvin Klein. As head of the Saks
creative team, he is responsible for creating images,
seasonal collections and the company’s signature
hairdressing techniques. When he is not abroad,
teaching at a Saks Academy, or on a shoot, he still
works in the Saks’ flagship salon in London’s Covent
Garden.
Patrick Cameron is acknowledged as the long hair
expert. Since arriving in the UK from New Zealand in
1987, Patrick has worked in association with Wella.
He is a regular presenter at global hairdressing events,
and he has his own training school in London. He also
takes this school out on the road to students in New
York, New Zealand, Australia, Germany, Los Angeles
and Dublin, as he believes education is paramount.
His philosophy is “my aim is to create natural looks
that make a client feel feminine.”
Andrew Hill Devon Hairdresser Andrew Hill has an
awarding winning hair salon in Newton Abbot.
Andrew’s salon and business concept is that for his
team of staff to succeed they must view their role as a
career, not simply a job. Members of his team have
been regional finalists for the L’Oreal Colour Trophy.
