Sean | Creative Director Castle Gate

Salon Director and Business Owner

I have been hairdressing since I was 17. After completing my training I opened a KH Hair in North Leeds. After 9 years I moved back to my home town when the opportunity to buy the Nottingham salon arose. In 2012 myself and my wife (and salon manager), Debbie, bought the West Bridgford salon too.

I completed the Wella Master Colour Award in 2004 and this enables me to consult with my salon colour experts about my ideas and client needs.

I have a strong and varied clientele with whom I have a great rapport, equally I love the challenge of transforming a new clients image through my consultation and creative cutting techniques.

I am a previous member of the KH Hair Art Team which gave me the opportunity to work with some of the industries finest hairdressers, clothes stylists and photographers. I also worked on stage for The Fellowship at Salon International, Hosted educational seminars for Wella in Manchester and London in advanced barbering for the rest of the industry and travelled to Los Angeles and Italy for Sebastian creative team.

I enjoy leading my team and the success that it brings. Our teams have won awards for Wella Trend Vision and we are regular finalists for British Hairdressing Awards and British Hairdressing Business Awards. We have trainees that are finalists in National Wella Competitions and have won an accolade of awards at our annual KH Awards including Salon of the Year, customer service, front of house, trainee awards and retail awards. I am so proud of each and every one of my staff!!

My day off is a Monday and I work the occasional Tuesday at the West Bridgford salon
