About Holly

Holly Pemberton | Voted most trusted hairdresser 2023

Holly Pemberton
Director & Executive Stylist
Vivacious, simpatico and glamorous…in a quirky kind of way

I have thrived on creating an individual look for my clients, making the most of each one’s lifestyle and personality. I love caring for my clients and making sure we are like-minded about the look we want to achieve.

I consistently up-skill and seek out new products to offer the highest and most current level of hairdressing.

I offer individual service from basin to blow wave, ensuring each client walks out feeling fabulous.

My signature precision cutting with timeless beautiful colour techniques and red carpet-worthy finishing holds its shape and still looks good until your next appointment in six weeks to three months’ time.

My poppa used to say no one ever regretted paying for quality.

Client Testimonials

  • Holly's philosophy on creating a plan that works for the individual is outstanding and really listens and cares about any concerns or dreams you have for your hair. Don't hesitate, you WILL be well looked after and get top quality consultations, services and products. No forced time-frames for re-books, every budget is considered and catered for. If 11/10 was a rating, this is it.

    Amy Barney

  • Every time again, when I get stuck in style of my haircut - Holly is on my side! By saying that I mean, Holly has a special ability to tune in and listen what I am after. And sometimes it takes a little longer for me to express myself - not a problem for Holly! She has this amazing capacity of creating a picture based on my word's and imagination. This is where magic of creation is happening when she is using her tools! I would call Holly's precision - Art. And this applies for choosing a colour too!

    Julia Fast

  • Never in my life have I had so many random strangers compliment my hair until I started coming to Holly! She always listens to what I want and helps me to make the best choices to keep my hair healthy. It is always a treat to see Holly as she is always bubbly and warm. At my most recent appointment she even offered me lunch - you can’t get better than that! Thank you Holly ❤️
