Stars Of The Future
At the forefront of trends and technology, the talented team at Freddie’s are set to produce the hairdressing stars of the future, writes Amanda Killelea
From the moment Freddie’s hair salon opened its doors, it has been synonymous with cutting-edge style and luxury.
And it is no wonder given that Freddie and his expert team have more than 150 years of hairdressing experience between them.
The salon first opened on 3rd November 1992, and as Freddie heads into his 30th year in his flagship salon in a prime position on Bank Street, Rawtenstall, he is not only proud to look back on his achievements but also to the exciting times that lie ahead as he and his team work to produce the star hairdressers of the future.
Over the past 29 years, Freddie’s has been nominated for no less than six British Hairdressing Awards, and the talented stylists have been hand-picked to become members of the prestigious Schwarzkopf Colour Creative Team and Young Artistic Team.
These accolades are proof that Freddie’s is at the forefront of the latest hairdressing trends and technology.
But the salon still retains its loyal customer base – some of whom were clients on that very first day back in 1992.
Owner Freddie Cunliffe says: “I cannot believe we are heading into our 30th year. I honestly would not be here without my amazing team who between them have a staggering 150 years’ experience.
“Some of them have been with me from the very beginning and I think it is testament to what a tight-knit group we are that they have stayed that long – we are like a family here and like to think our clients are also part of that family.
“I pride myself on giving my staff the best training which keeps their work evolving and fresh and that has paid off massively.”
Freddie himself celebrates 40 years in hairdressing this year and has passed on his wealth of knowledge and experience to each and every one of his team.
Stylist Hayley Miller has been with Freddie since day one, having worked in hairdressing for 30 years. Freddie’s husband Matt Threlfall, a colour specialist, has been at the salon for 21 years, Freddie’s niece Beth Dickinson, also a colour specialist, has been there for 17 years, salon manager Jade Rothwell has 20 years service and Nick Wright has 18 years.
The salon is also home to Polished Beauty Clinic, whose owner Caroline Wilkinson also has more than 20 years in the industry and works closely with the stylists to provide clients with a complete hair and beauty service.
They work together to provide the junior members of the Freddie’s family with the best training in a bid to ensure the Freddie’s legacy will continue for years to come.
Freddie says: “We are really proud of our assistants Leah, Katie and Kelsey. They have immense talent and we know that with the training and the attention to detail that our stylists have instilled in them they will go on to become future hairdressing stars.”
