As part of our regular focus on the Bristol city centre hairdresser team working at our Baldwin Street salon, it’s time to check out the salon founder and Creative Director at Aidan Garlington Hair Design.
Aidan started hairdressing after a work experience placement at a Saturday job. He enjoyed the fun, creative atmosphere so much that he went full-time and rapidly completed his Level 3 NVQ Hairdressing qualification whilst working as an apprentice at a Bath-based hair salon.
Are you looking for a Bristol city centre hairdresser?
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 hairdresser in the old city area of Bristol city centre for over 25 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 salon 15 years ago, moving to the current hair salon located on Baldwin Street, and has been recognised as a leading Bristol city centre hairdresser ever since.
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 utilise 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) nine years ago, which was an amazing experience.
Aidan works hard to stay current on hairdressing trends and hot hairstyles so that his team at the Baldwin Street hair studio can give clients the best hairdressing experience in Bristol city centre.
