I have a real passion for hairdressing and I have always known it was the career for me. I particularly enjoy blow-drying; especially 90’s style with big and bouncy curls. I love it when clients come to us looking for a complete re-style and leave the salon feeling fantastic and love what we have created. I really enjoy meeting people and getting to know new clients so why not come down and see us!

Senior Stylist
Hi I’m Aimy and I’m a senior stylist here at The Link Studio. I have worked with The Link Studio since the start of my hairdressing career over 5 years ago.

Hi I’m Aimy and I’m a senior stylist here at The Link Studio.
I have worked with The Link Studio since the start of my hairdressing career over 5 years ago and my passions for different areas of the industry have grown. In addition to my NVQ Level 2 & 3 in Hairdressing and Barbering I have had extended training in Creative Cutting and Colour specializing.
I have always had an intense desire to create new looks with colouring and re-styling. Working with years of experience and training, this is one of my favourite parts of my hairdressing career. Despite my passion for colouring and cutting, another main passion of mine is client care and creating a close relationship with clients. I have always enjoyed being able to relate to clients each through each visit they have.

Grace
Junior Stylist
Hi I’m Grace. I have recently finished my Level 3 in Hairdressing and I am a junior stylist here at The Link Studio. I am definitely the wackier alternative one!

Hi I’m Grace. I have recently finished my Level 3 in Hairdressing and I am a junior stylist here at The Link Studio.
I love doing bright colours, reds, oranges, purples, anything different; I’m always up for a task! Shorter cuts such as bobs or inverted bobs are my favourite! I am definitely the wackier alternative one; you may see me with pom-poms in my hair! Colouring hair is my passion whether that is bright different colours, balayage or highlights. The complete difference a change in hair colour can make to somebody’s look is the main reason that I am in this industry.
If you are wanting a complete change of look come on in and have a chat and we can see what creation we can come up with!

Ben
Creative Barber
I initially trained as a hairdresser in 2012, after completing my level 3 NVQ in Hairdressing at The Link Training Academy, I very quickly realised that my passion was in male grooming.

I’m comfortable working with all hair types and creating a wide range of different styles. I get just as excited about a tight 0 fade as I do about creating a sleek pompadour with scissors and comb I particularly love creating new styles for my clients and think there’s no better feeling than seeing a client leaving happier and more confident than when they came in!

I love that the barbering industry is continuously growing and find it very exciting to be a part of. Some of my favourite styles to create are more classic styles with longer tops; however I also enjoy fading and creating more modern, textured looks. I think it’s always important to tailor a haircut to the individual and take into account their preferences. If you’re looking for a laid back atmosphere and a brew, pop in and see us here at The Link Studio.

Hi, I’m James and I am one of the junior barbers here at The Link Studio. I love working in this industry because I get to meet so many different people.

Hi, I’m James and I am one of the junior barbers here at The Link Studio. I love working in this industry because I get to meet so many different people who want different styles. One of my favourite styles to do is a 0 fade because there are so many different techniques and which one to choose all depends on what my client is wanting. I also really enjoy doing restyles as you can always see a big difference in the end result. Beard shape ups are also fun to do as there are all different types of beard shapes and sizes.
Making sure my client has the best experience in the salon is what I always try my best to do. If you want a style change in an upbeat friendly salon, come visit us here at The Link Studio
