Posey
Posey has been working in hair salons honing her skills since she was 14 years old, but always had the dream of owning her own. After winning ‘Apprentice of the Year’ in 2009, she knew her next goal would be working towards her lifelong goal of opening up her perfect salon – a salon in which the little things matter and customers come first.
Posey opened her first salon located on Hampton Street in Brighton in February 2014, which focused heavily on stocking the best brands in the industry and continuously training her staff to be up to date with industry trends and techniques. However, the biggest focus of the salon for Posey was ensuring that customers felt a little bit of luxury every time they visited. It is this passion for her customers which has enables Posey to open her second salon in 2017, located on Were Street, Brighton.
Posey specialises in both colouring and cutting and believes in constant education to ensure our clients get the best experience possible by truly understanding cutting edge techniques and trends. From the moment you walk in the door, to the moment you leave Posey’s number one priority is that you not only have great hair, but that you have enjoyed every element of your experience leaving relaxed and rejuvenated.
