As part of our regular focus on the central Bristol hairdresser team working at our Baldwin Street hair salon, it’s time to focus on the salon founder and Creative Director at Aidan Garlington Hair Design.

Aidan started hairdressing after a work experience placement onto a Saturday job, and enjoyed the fun creative atmosphere so much that he went full-time in hairdressing, to rapidly complete his Level 3 NVQ Hairdressing qualification whilst working as an apprenticeship in at a Bath-based hair salon.

Aidan worked at the Bath hair salon for just under five years, then came to work in Bristol where he fell in love with the old city quarter with the fantastic buzz, easygoing atmosphere, and unique markets full of fantastic people.

Aidan has now worked as a leading hairdresser in the old city area of central Bristol for over 20 years, having started his successful hairdressing career at Charlie Browns and then onto Adam & Eve (now called Gaudi Hair Design).

Aidan went on to work as a leading hairstylist at Guy Fawkes, where he trained further, eventually managing the salon and successfully passing his L’Oréal Colour Specialist degree, in which he gained a 93% pass mark.

Aidan decided to set up his own salon 10 years ago, and moved to the current central Bristol hair salon located on Baldwin street nine years ago.

In his day-to-day duties within the hair studio, he cuts, colours, straightens, curls, and extends hair for clients using all the usual methods such as Raccoon, Beauty Works, Kerastraight, Xtenso and Yuko whilst continuing to utilize his expertise gained from his L’Oréal Colour Specialist Degree.

Aidan also took the Trevor Sorbie My New Hair industry training course (wig cutting for cancer patients) five years ago, which was an amazing experience.

Aidan works hard to keep up-to-date on current hairdressing trends and hot hairstyles, so that his team at the leading central Bristol hair studio can continue to give clients the best hairdressing experience on Baldwin Street.

We’re really excited this week, as a new stylist has joined our busy central Bristol hair salon as a full-time member of the team, following an increasingly busy year, with a hectic Autumn ahead for our hairdressing clients.

Lisa, pictured above, has over 13 years hairdressing experience, having previously worked at the popular Bristol city centre hairdressing company Guy Fawkes. Lisa has also worked for other hair salons in the greater Bristol area.

Lisa (30) specialises in hair colouring, hair-up, wedding hair, hair extensions, working with Afro hair, and is qualified on working with Kerastraight for clients.

As an NVQ Level 3 hairdresser, Lisa brings a wealth of experience with her, and she’s made a huge mark on the team in only a few weeks on board.

Lisa joins our team of central Bristol hairdressers as we head into the busy Autumn and pre-Christmas season, with high demand for new seasonal hairstyles and the latest hair colours for Autumn keeping us all really busy.

To celebrate Lisa joining our team of central Bristol hairstylists, we’re giving a fantastic introductory offer on her amazing hair colouring services in-salon.
