Bridge of Allan gets the Essential Look

Bridge of Allan residents will not have failed to notice the hive of activity surrounding 2 Henderson Street, formerly Bridge of Allan Books, now home to British Hairdressing Hall of Fame Award winner Charlie Taylor Hairdressing.

The opening of the salon created 15 new jobs and revealed a modern, state of the art hairdressing salon complete with massage chairs and a tantalising selection of specialist teas and coffees.

Quality is at the heart of everything Charlie Taylor does, and at the Bridge of Allan salon clients will benefit from the full range of Charlie Taylor hair care services and top quality products including the full Schwarzkopf range, Wella System Professional, and Aveda, ensuring they can cater for every client’s haircare needs.

The products, however, are merely the tools that support the real work of the stylist. Charlie has always been passionate about education in hairdressing and in the short time since they started with the company the Bridge of Allan team have been exposed to the some of the best training available in the industry.

At the group’s annual conference in Perth in January, the whole salon team were treated to an exclusive showing of this season’s Schwarzkopf Essential Looks Collection prepared and presented by stylist in our St Andrews salon, Pam Smith, who regularly works with Charlie on shows across the UK.

This was followed by a trip for the Bridge of Allan stylists to the Schwarzkopf Academy in London for one to one training in the latest cutting and colouring techniques being used on the catwalk.

“It is this attention to detail that really sets us apart in our industry. Our stylists are trained to such a high level and we continue to build on their knowledge every year.” said Charlie.

The company’s award winning credentials in training and developing stylists have marked the salon group as one of the best in the UK.

“Working for a Charlie Taylor salon is much more than just being a cutting edge stylist or an excellent beauty therapist, for us it is also about the Charlie Taylor brand and what that stands for: quality, consistency, excellence and ambition.” commented Charlie.

“Our staff are passionate about their own success and that of the company and it is this passion and professionalism that our clients experience each and every time they visit.” she concluded.
