1. HRH The Princess Royal

   13th April 2017 10:56 am Leave a Comment

   We were delighted and honoured to welcome HRH The Princess Royal on a visit to our salon and Training Academy at Holy Corner where she unveiled a plaque to commemorate our 50 years in business. The Princess Royal spent an hour meeting with Directors, Managers, Assistant Managers and over 40 other team members. These were from across the salons as well as a number of our longest-serving clients.

   During a reception HRH learned about our work with the ‘Hair 4 U’ project and Teenage Cancer Trust (TCT). She met with patients and nurses involved. She also met our 6 ‘Trainees of the Year’. These are hairdresser from our successful apprenticeship programme. They were able to demonstrate some of their cutting, colouring and styling skills.

   HRH finished her visit with a charitable donation to her Charities Trust along with a posy of flowers.

   Thanks also to STV News reporter Susan Ripoll and cameraman Colin for their coverage of the visit on STV News at Six.

2. Access All Areas – MTV Europe Music Awards

   27th September 2016 10:00 am Leave a Comment

   This month’s Throw Back Thursday flashes back  to the 2014 MTV Europe Music Awards. For once Jason, India and their team of stylists (Cat Nicholson, Tammy Waugh, Amber Lennie, Lynsey Wilson, Natalie Cole and Stephen Suckling) didn’t require passports to travel to look after the artists and presenters as the prestigious awards ceremony was held here in Scotland, in the city of Glasgow.

    

   Helping celebrities get ready for their close up is all in a day’s work for the Charlie Miller team and 2014 marked the twelfth consecutive year of being appointed official hair stylists at the MTV Europe Music Awards. While the glitz, glamour and excitement reached a crescendo in the auditorium, our team were busy backstage, working their magic on hundreds of stars, presenters and performers and adding last minute finishing touches before they stepped into the spotlight. With everyone from A-list artists to troupes of backing dancers to look after against a ticking clock, the pace and turnaround is relentlessly fast, especially during the show.

   There’s no denying that looking after musicians and movie stars can be an exciting experience but we have just as much fun, at a more leisurely pace, in the salon looking after our clients. Music and fashions may change over the years but a good haircut never goes out of style.
   Book your appointment today using our online app and we look forward to catching up with your news during your next visit to the salon.
