From small-town beginnings to award-winning stylist: Mary’s journey to opening a bespoke salon in Tettenhall
Mary’s journey into the world of hairdressing began in her hometown of Burton on Trent, where she started her career in a local salon. Even from the outset, it was clear that Mary’s aspirations extended far beyond simply being "just a hairdresser." Driven by a passion for creativity and an unyielding desire to push boundaries, she quickly realised she had the potential to achieve far more in the industry.

After gaining invaluable experience working with top organisations, Mary honed her craft, building a name for herself as a talented, multi-award-winning stylist. Her expertise and dedication were recognised when she was named Eastern Hairdresser of the Year at the British Hairdressing Awards—a milestone that reinforced her belief that her career had only just begun.
In the years that followed, Mary’s reputation grew, and she built a loyal client base in Nottingham. But after 20 years in the business, life took a beautiful turn. Mary relocated to Wolverhampton last year and welcomed her baby girl into the world. With this exciting new chapter came the decision to open her very own salon, and she is now on a mission to rebuild her clientele from scratch.
But even with the fresh start, some of Mary’s most dedicated clients from Nottingham continue to travel over an hour and a half to see her—proof of the trust and loyalty she has earned over the years. "It’s incredibly humbling," says Mary, "to know that my clients believe in me so much that they’re willing to travel that distance. It’s a testament to the relationships I’ve built and the care I give to each client."
Her new salon in Tettenhall reflects everything she’s learned along the way and is designed with her clients in mind. Every detail has been carefully considered, from fully reclining massage chairs for the ultimate hair-washing experience to a chilled fridge stocked with refreshing beverages. Each appointment is exclusive, offering 1:1 service to ensure privacy and undivided attention.
"I’ve listened to my clients over the years about what would make their hair experience extra special," Mary explains. "This salon is a direct result of that feedback. I’ve created a space where people can truly relax and enjoy the process, knowing they’re receiving the highest level of service."
Mary’s skillset is extensive and includes precision cuts, bespoke colour transformations, and expert care for all hair types, including Afro and textured hair. As a Wella Colour Expert, her bespoke colour services are highly sought after, and her clients know they’re in safe hands when it comes to achieving their ideal look.
Now, with a renewed sense of purpose following the birth of her daughter, Mary is focused on creating a luxurious, personalised experience for each and every client in Wolverhampton. "I’m so excited for this new chapter. It’s an opportunity to pour my heart and soul into this salon and continue creating beautiful, bespoke experiences for my clients."
If you’re looking for a unique, indulgent salon experience that goes beyond hair, Mary’s new salon in Tettenhall is the place to be. Book your appointment today and discover why her loyal clients travel from far and wide for a chance to sit in her chair.
