Meet the Team at Oxford Circus.

Grant from Oz is the manager at Oxford Circus. He also previously managed the Soho branch before leaving us for a year to work as air crew, now with the travel bug sated he's back where he belongs with the team in Oxford Circus.

Grant is a great all-rounder with hair-ups, wedding hair, colour, cuts, straightenings and hair extensions all mastered - there's not much he can't do.

Brad our assistant manager joins us from Australia where he was a national demonstrator for Great Lengths hair extensions. Brad's a lovely guy, really friendly and chilled, he'll instantly put you at ease. He's now wowing clients (and himself) with our new Great Lengths Hair Extensions (no heat, no glue, no damage) and has recently been shortlisted for the 2010 Great Lengths Gold Trophy Extensionist of the Year Award. He's also a safe pair of hands for colour, straightening and cuts.

Brad's Hair Extensions have recently been featured in a major article by the Sunday Times Magazine Feb 2012.“I’ll get hair extensions. I’ll look like Cheryl Cole; men will want to sleep with me, my life will be better.. Why not? So I did. And they work.”- Katie Glass. Sunday Times Magazine 12th February 2012.

Kate joins us as a senior stylist. Kate worked as a top stylist with one of the larger salon groups but decided she preferred the more personal approach an independent salon can provide clients. She wanted to ensure she could taylor the best colours and designs for clients without the corporate compromises that can be pushed from head office in larger chains. She has many years experience and is an expert colourist.

Seema Flower is quite literally a cut above the rest.

Her career goal was to own a hair salon. Nothing unusual about that, until you revealise she's visually impaired.

"My eyesight was deteriorating due to retinitis pigmentosa," explains Seema. "I felt that as a visually impaired person I had a unique perspective which could benefit everyone who visits a salon. If every customer is treated with the care shown to a visually impaired client, it should guarantee excellent customer service for all.

"Bad customer service experiences not only made me determined to achieve my career and business goals, but also to ensure I demonstrated good practice in customer-client care.

"Whilst my role is a managerial one, I still find there are people who balk at the idea of a visually impaired person running the show.

"Some of them think, 'If the owner is blind, how are they going to do my hair?' But Richard Branson or Stelios don't have to be able to fly the planes to ensure excellent service.

 

If you need anything at all during your visit to us please just ask :)

 IHR great experience... very professional
I just wanted to thank you very much for your hardwork yesterday. It was a great experience as I was not sure on how all the process would have been.

You are very professional and this has given me more confidence that I will always be in good hands.

Thanks and I will see you soon for a haircut.

 massive thank you to all at the Covent Garden Crew
I'd like to say a massive thank you to all at the Covent Garden Crew for a wonderful experience I had at the salon. Everyone was friendly and totally professional.

Extra thanks to Steffi and the Receptionist [Niko]. Steffi was great. I put total trust in Steffi and she done an amazing job with my hair. I had highlights added and a fantastic cut. She knew exactly what type of colours would suit me and my hair looked and felt great. I've never seen my hair so straight!

I'd recommend Covent Garden to anyone if they want a group of experts working on their hair. They are the Best!

 Thanks for a great new look!!!
*repost of email received 26/5/04*



My name is Maggie and I had a hair cut/colour at your Covent Garden Salon on the 15th May 2004 at 3pm. I am not usually in the habit of writing e mails in relation to staff but on this occassion I really thought that I should.


First of all.. the receptionist, I found her exceptionally personable and approachable. No sooner had I come into the salon and [the receptionist] was already smiling and asking me if I would like a drink. She made me feel incredibly at ease and I noticed that she made the other customers feel at ease too. She was constantly available and even assisted the hairdressers at times. An exceptionally lovely person.

Secondly and finally, ..I have never had a better hair cut nor colour. Not only an excellent hairdresser but also a great personality. Your company is bound to do well with staff like these. I will definitely be returning to your salon and will also be telling my friends.



Thanks for a great new look!!!



Maggie
