Since the birth of Alan Edwards salon my achievements have been numerous as an individual and also as part of a team. One of the most memorable being winning the L'Oreal colour trophy, for the first time and being involved in creating the grand final show which was amazing. To work on a project over a period of months and then seeing it live. I've visited many cities producing shows + seminars in Paris, Chicago, Helsinki, Dublin, Belfast and London. Aspects of my profession I enjoy is teaching our assistants and to see them grow is very rewarding. I have recently gained my al assessors qualification, which in turn helps our trainees work through their SVQs.
And finally my clients who I enjoy working with to give them the great hair they deserve, all this together I am privileged to have probably the best job in the world.
Sharing their passion with clients and team alike.”
Mhari “I joined the Alan Edwards team in 1993 as a Saturday girl, coming in full time from school. I have worked my way up through the years now being manager of our South Side salon from 2002. I completed L'oreal Colour Specialist Degree in 2005 with distinction. Most recently I became a Kerestase Specialist. I really enjoy working in our busy salon with a friendly team, long may it continue.”
Erin Turner “I'm Erin one of our senior stylists in the southside salon, I love
working with the girls we have a great wee team. I started at the company as a Saturday/Sunday girl and have now worked here for 15years
(scary) I still only feel 18yrs old!
I did the training with our assistants for many years and now take
part in our amazing in-house cut and colour nights that keep us up to
date with the latest hair and fashion trends. Its great seeing new
colour techniques to help enhance the haircuts.
I love seeing our clients going away with something a bit different we
have created and of course with a big smile.”
Cheryl “Hi, I'm Cheryl, one of our stylists at the Southside salon where I have worked since 2002.
Our motto at Alan Edwards is "Creating a difference" and this is something I always try to do with my clients.
I am a creative person and I really enjoy our in house seasonal interpretations where we look at fashion week and predict what's coming up in the future of the fashion world. This keeps me ahead of the trends and my clients are always in the know.
I love being part of our small team at the Southside where not only the people are my colleagues but also my friends who I still learn so much from everyday.
Come and join the friendly and relaxing experience at Alan Edwards Southside! ”
SB “Hi, I'm SB. I have worked at Alan Edwards for 6 years. I started as a young pup straight from school and my cheeky nature quickly made me
Alan's personal assistant (monkey) haha where I ran his column, clients
and life for 4years!!! I then qualified and moved from the big smoke to
the south-side salon where the girls are boss!!!
I have always been involved in the art team starting off as a model
then becoming more hands-on and involved in different projects such as
the L'Oreal colour trophy and our educational seminars. Its a good laugh and we have a very relaxed approach to training. Less stress more fun to learn. I'm heavily influenced by senior members of staff and love watching how creative hair can be.

Edwards.
Over the thirteen years I have worked in Alan Edwards I have worked in every
salon and now work at our Southside branch. I get inspired by
other members of staff and we pick colours together for our clients. We
all work well together to create a great and individual look for each
client.
We use L'Oreal colours as they have a wide and varied collection
making it easy to find the correct colour and tones for all our clients
needs.”
