The Pruners Team
Salon Directors
Jane
Director
Being a salon owner is not without its challenges, especially lately, but given my passion for this industry I wouldn’t change it for the world! Working with Liz and the team to evolve the salon and build our salon culture has been a joy.
Always learning and growing is hugely important to me, and the team embrace this. As a stylist I love precision cutting and clean lines and fixing haircuts is my absolute favourite thing to do!
Liz
Director
I have been in the industry most of my life, from being a hairdresser when I left school, to training as a beauty therapist later in life. Jane and I run the salon now, and our different skill sets make for a good partnership.
I love being in this industry, meeting lots of lovely clients, working with great products and having a great team behind us.
Alfie
Working at Pruners is the best job ever. I am always running up and down the salon going to answer the phones or greeting our lovely clients. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do. I look forward to meeting you all…
Our Beauty Team
Rachael
Beauty Therapist
I qualified as a beauty therapist over 36 years ago and achieved my Confederations and Cidesco diplomas which have carried me through many salons all over the country gaining a wealth of experience.
I enjoy giving an extensive range of beauty treatments including our Clarins stress relieving facials. Come in and see us soon and relax in one of our three air-conditioned therapy rooms.
Lucy
Beauty Therapist
I love being a beauty therapist as it’s something I’ve always been interested in and I’m passionate about. I love making people feel beautiful. To me it’s one of the most important jobs! I am level 2 and 3 NVQ beauty qualified and excited to meet new people and put smiles on more faces!
Our Hair Team
Lavinia
Senior Consultant
I have 35 years hairdressing experience and have worked for Pruners Hair and Beauty for 19 years. I love meeting new clients and sharing new ideas. Keeping up with new trends is a must for me, as you are never too old to learn new things!
Penny
Senior Consultant
I’ve been with Pruners since 1998 and I love my job. The best part is building long-term relationships with my clients and helping them achieve their perfect style!
Emily
Senior Consultant / Educator
After 15 years in the industry I still love the feeling of giving guests confidence and for them to love their hair 24/7. My favourite styles are precise cuts that are easy to manage at home and natural blended colours. The occasional pop of colour is fun too.
I am also the Training Manager here in the salon where we coach and assess our apprentices. It really excites me watching our new talent grow and I feel really proud to be part of that.
Jade
Artistic Consultant / Educator
I have worked at Pruners Hair and Beauty for over 10 years. My job involves training our future professionals alongside Emily and running & creating content for the salon’s social media platforms.
However my passion in hairdressing is definitely colouring from balayage, vivids and blondes. The creativity and possibility in colour is inspiring and I am very fortunate to be able to create beautiful hair and meet inspiring people daily.
Luke
Consultant
I have been in the hair industry for almost 18 years. I am trained in all aspects of my profession, and my main strengths are cutting and blow dries but I also love playing with colour. If it’s a full bouncy blow dry with lots of movement, then I’m your guy. The best thing about this job is the ability to change my clients confidence in how they look and feel about themselves.
My other passion in life is travelling and alongside hairdressing I’m also cabin crew. I have been very lucky to have been given the opportunity to travel the world!
Federica
Designer
My name is Federica but you can call me Feri! I am from Italy and have been doing hair for over 10 years. I joined the team at Pruners Hair and Beauty recently. Last year I was working on a cruise ship. It was an amazing experience and after my contract ended I decided I wanted to keep gaining new experiences so here I am!
I love making my clients hair shine with different colouring techniques and love to help them keep it healthy with regular haircuts. I look forward to making you feel special and beautiful.
Leah
Graduate Stylist
I have been with Pruners Hair and Beauty for two and a half years. I completed my NVQ level 2 in September and am now working on my level 3. I am always striving to improve myself and can’t wait to start building my own clientele. I especially enjoy colouring and love transforming a style!
Nina
Graduate Stylist
I have been with Pruners Hair and Beauty or for two years now. I’m on a journey to become a great stylist. Having just completed my NVQ level 2, I’m excited to build my confidence and to learn new aspects of hairdressing. I love doing colours and cuts and the best part is making people feel happy and beautiful!
