Gemma

Master Stylist

I am one of the hair colour specialists, from pastels, rainbows, grey blending and huge colour corrections, Check out some of my work on Instagram @gemmaskyehair. Coming into a new salon can be a nerve wracking experience for people. I go beyond to make my clients feel at ease and I take the time to really listen to what they are after. What I love most about my job is the transformations and not just the ones that happen on the outside. An amazing hair colour and cut can help people feel fun, brave, pretty, youthful and confident. I have a tonne of knowledge, teamed up with the passion to create and help make peoples lives just a little bit better, one head of hair at a time. Sorry for the cheese but it’s true.

Gae

Master Stylist

I’ve loved being a stylist for over 30 years. I really enjoy learning new colour and cutting techniques so that I make sure my clients look and feel fabulous. In particular, I’m passionate about creating beautifully shaped shorter haircuts whilst using colour to enhance body and style. Consultations are important to me, so I am all ears and once we have chosen the direction for your hair I will ensure you have the know how to style your hair at home. After all – a great haircut has to continue being great after you leave the salon. So if you’re wanting a stylist that has experience and is passionate about hairdressing while being honest with you in your style decisions then I would love to hear from you.

Being able to listen and understand the clients needs and to know not just what they are saying but also what they would like to say.

I love to give my clients that WOW factor! Joining Surreal has definitely been a highlight in my career.

Mike

Master Stylist

29 years of hairdressing has taught me that listening, listening, listening is the key to giving a client the hair that they want, and working with a great team of highly trained colourists gives me the ability to give my clients the hair they truly deserve while freeing me up to focus on the cut from sharp classic designs to more textured, contemporary designs. I love cutting curls and have many male as well as female clients. No client is too old or too young to deserve a great haircut.
