Ian loves hairdressing! The continued learning ethos at The Point is driven by him, and after many years in the industry, still looks for experiences and opportunities in all areas of the industry to ensure he continues to develop his craft.

Ian is a family man, domestically and professionally, and loves seeing The Point’s talented team grow in strength.

Louise has had a prestigious career, with over 10 years of experience in the industry.

She specialises in creative cutting and styling.

After training and working at Mahogany salons in Oxford and London, working in Manchester, and doing television work for The BBC, ITV & Sky Television, Louise decided to move to Brighton, joining the team at The Point in 2012.

She loves the calm, relaxed but professional atmosphere at The Point, which she believes gives the salon such a fantastic vibe – both for the team and the clients.

Louise says, “What I love most about the hairdressing industry is being able to meet and chat with so many people from all walks of life. There’s nothing better than making people feel good and putting a smile on their face.”

Sam has been with The Point since  2008, starting as an trainee and working her way up to Senior Stylist and Master Colour Expert

In her spare time Sam enjoys socialising and shopping and she has a passion for classic cars.

Priscilla joined us in 2014 -one of the great team players in the salon. She has worked in salons since the age of 14. The knowledge and experience that she has gained over those years have grown in to an admirable repertoire of skills that includes cutting, styling, colouring and creative up-dos.

Priscilla loves being creative, and takes the time and care to really listen to her client, to find out what they want to achieve –She then makes it happen!

‘’In hairdressing there is no greater reward, than making people feel good’’.

She loves going to see live music, visiting galleries, museums, and theme and wildlife parks. She volunteers with the RSPCA and the Cat Protection Centre.

Pricilla’s style is pop culture and she has a playground compendium of influences, which include weird tacky animal cartoon stuff. She confesses to owning a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle dress!
