Gemma

Salon Owner and Designer

I opened Silk in April 2015, with the aim of creating a luxury modern salon with a fun and friendly atmosphere. Being a part of this industry is an opportunity I feel very lucky to have. To have my own salon was a dream and it is now a reality. A big part of Silks’ successful first year is my dedicated hard working team not to mention our loyal clients.

I find creating restyles creates confidence! Seeing my clients leave the salon smiling is so rewarding. What gets me up in the morning besides my exercise classes is my passion for the industry. I cannot wait to continue to develop my team and grow the salon.

Libbi

Assistant Manager

Libbi started with us in July 2015. After carrying out 3 year apprenticeship Libbi is now successfully running a very busy column in salon. So very proud of all libbi has achieved whilst working at Silk. Libbi has carried out many training sessions which has given libbi incredible confidence doing what she loves.

Libbi enjoys most her clients leaving the salon feeling full of confidence and joy after receiving fantastic service.

Kelly

Senior Designer

Kelly has been working at Silk since we very first opened. Myself and Kelly had worked together for many years previous to opening Silk, so I was thrilled when Kelly decided to come and join the salon.

Kelly has almost 20years experience in the industry, she is so very passionate and gives each of her clients an incredible service and time to create their desired look. Kelly is an amazing stylist and is all about detail!

Grace

Designer

Grace has been in the hairdressing industry for over twelve years and has worked with Gemma in a previous salon many years ago. Grace joined Silk in November 2017 as maternity cover but loved salon life so much was delighted when asked to stay permanently.

Grace enjoys time with her clients creating new looks and making clients feel good about themselves.

Having spent five years teaching hairdressing she decided she missed Salon life. Grace is a great team member and a fantastic stylist.

Sophie

Salon apprentice

Sophie started with with us in December 2018 as my Saturday student whilst still attending school. Since September 2020 Sophie started a full time apprenticeship, attending college one day a week.

Sophie works so hard, and keeps the salon running very efficiently and smooth. Sophie’s confidence with clients has grown so well in such a short amount of time. So proud to have Sophie not only join silk full time but join our amazing industry.
