About Us · Est. Kingston upon Thames
Two decades in hair.
One salon built around you.
From a sixteen-year-old apprentice at Toni&Guy to Westfield's longest standing Style Director — and finally, our own home in KT1.
A letter
Hello,
welcome in.
"Well, where do I begin. Working with hair has for some time been a large part of my life…"
A&G Hairdressing wasn't built to be another salon on another high street. It was built to be the salon we always wished existed — the one where you're greeted by name, where your hair is understood before it's touched, and where the finish is always yours, never a template.
What follows is a short version of how we got here, in four chapters.
A&G, Kingston
The Journey
Four chapters, one obsession.
Chapter One
2004
The apprentice, aged sixteen.
Working with hair has for some time been a large part of my life. I made an entry in the hairdressing industry at the age of 16 for Toni&Guy — fortunate enough to be working alongside some of the most influential hairdressers of the moment.
Chapter Two
2008
Learning the craft, earning the awards.
Coming up as an award winner, I craved success. I developed the ability to create something bespoke for every client that sat in my chair — the discipline of a technique, the intuition of a shape.
Chapter Three
2014
Style Director at Westfield.
I spent over ten years with Toni&Guy, earning my stripes and building credibility, until I finally became Westfield's first and longest standing Style Director.
Chapter Four
Today
A&G Hairdressing was born.
I recently discovered I wanted to invest my hard work and dedication into something bigger and more rewarding — pushing the boundaries of my individuality and creativity. Our own home in Kingston, for hair and beauty done properly.

What we stand for
Four words on the mirror.
The quiet rules behind every appointment at A&G — the reasons clients come back and bring their people.
01
Bespoke
Every cut, colour and treatment shaped around you — never off the shelf.
02
Craft
Two decades of technique behind every pair of scissors that lifts to your hair.
03
Care
A small, considered team who remember your name, your hair, your story.
04
Confidence
You should leave taller than you arrived. That's the whole point.
Inside the salon
Craft in motion.
A quiet, considered space in Kingston upon Thames. Warm lighting, honest mirrors, and a team that treats every appointment like it's their own hair on the chair.
