Experts in Hair and Beauty
Salon 123 was established in 2013 but has been a hair and beauty salon previous to this for over 20 years. Sally took it over in 2015 and we have built a friendly team to appeal to a diverse variety of clients. We are welcoming to all and clients feed back to us that they feel very comfortable and have a relaxing experience. Our team are experienced in all aspects of cutting and colour services and our beauty therapists are always happy to give advice on skin and nail care. We only use good quality products from the best brands and are environmentally friendly too.

Ryan
Supported Graduate Stylist
Let's talk about the wonderful Ryan! After completing his schooling, Ryan pursued a degree
in marketing at Chichester University. During his university years, he served as the LGBQ+
Student Officer, showcasing his knack for ensuring clients from liberation groups feel
warmly welcomed in the salon, aligning seamlessly with our ethos of inclusivity for all.
Although his primary role is in the railways, where he oversees on-board train services,
Ryan decided to explore his second passion, hairdressing, after trains. In 2023, he obtained
his qualification and sought to broaden his experience by joining our team. Ryan has
seamlessly integrated into our crew and gained popularity among our clients. His fervor for
vibrant colors aligns with his love for the Elumen range that we proudly stock. While his
primary work is on the railways, you can find Ryan with us on his days off, typically on
Saturdays, but occasionally on weekdays too!

wonderful family, Becky made a triumphant return to hairdressing in 2022. Clients adore

Anne
Volunteer
Anne is our amazing volunteer in the salon. Known as “the lady with the pink hair” Anne is
covering Abi’s maternity leave on a voluntary basis having been a nail technician when she
lived in
the States. We first met Anne when she became a client in 2021 so she has been a familiar
face in
the salon for some time, along with her little dog Daisy. Since helping us out we have found
Anne to be very caring and supportive, not only as an amazing manicurist/pedicurist, but
also with keeping our busy salon organized, neat and tidy!
