Meet the team

  • Tom Pelling - Co owner

    Tom started his career in a leading hairdressing salon, where he underwent comprehensive training and graduated with distinction.

    After three years of immersing himself in the salon environment and building a loyal clientele in the women's hair sector, Tom discovered his true passion lay in men's hairstyling.

    He made the transition to a men's salon to further refine his skills and knowledge, amassing a substantial following over six years. Although his primary focus was on men's hair, his time in the women's sector taught him the importance of professionalism and comfort in dealing with longer hair.

    After accumulating nine years of industry experience, Tom decided to take the leap and pursue his career-long dream of creating the ultimate mens hair experience, alongside his partner, Sam.
