Jane | Director
I’m proud to be one of the owners of Jane Alexandra hairdressing. I started my career at the age of 13 as a Saturday girl then full time from leaving school and I have never stopped since. I absolutely love my job and if I had my time again I wouldn’t change a thing.
I enjoy making clients look and feel amazing and I specialise in all aspects of hairdressing for both ladies and gents.
I love to be creative with colour and I have a real passion for cutting hair and creating a bespoke look for each and every client. You wear your hair 24/7, 7 days a week, 52 weeks of the year, so I feel it’s very important to get your hair looking and feeling great as it’s your crown you never take off.
Every clients head of hair is different and individual that’s what makes my job interesting and diverse fine hair ,short hair, curly hair are some of my favourite hair types to work with, Before forming Jane Alexandra Hairdressing in 1999 I have worked at several leading Manchester and Cheshire salons. I have also traveled and worked abroad hairdressing and used all the main leading manufacturers and colour houses over the years.I never stand still and enjoy the up to date courses as there is always something new to learn.I have enjoyed working on many photo shoots and producing magazine work and to date for social media over the years.I am also proud to have taken part and won many competitions over the years for hairdressing business and education Training.
Away from the salon my other passions in life are animals, fashion,travel and having fun.
Nicky | Director
Proud co-owner of Jane Alexandra Hairdressing with Jane for over 23 years. I started off my career with a Saturday job while at school in Cheadle Hulme, then moved to a fabulous salon group in Didsbury and excelled with them as a Salon Manager.
After some consideration, I then took the plunge to open up in Hazel Grove as a self-employed hairdresser within a beauty salon, which is where Jane and I created ‘Jane Alexandra Hairdressing’.
I enjoy all aspects of hairdressing and I love to make my clients look and feel amazing. Working in the salon is fun and busy with all the staff, but I love my family life too with my husband & daughter, enjoying our time in Wales by the sea doing all kinds of outdoor activities. Throughout my life and career I’ve taken part in hair shows, trade fairs, photoshoots and have also had some of my work published in the old school magazines. We’re always learning the up to date new looks so we can create that perfect image for our clients.
Lisa | Senior Creative Stylist
I am one of the veterans of the salon. I have over 35 years of hairdressing experience under my belt and range from the fabulous to the beautiful all tailor made to suit the individual.
I have had my work published in hair & beauty magazine the social media of its day !! These days you can find my work on Instagram (kickass-hair).
I am easy to talk to and honest so you won’t get what’s not possible, but most of all I love my job.
Jo | Senior Creative Stylist
I have 26 years experience in the industry and I am also qualified in media make up and performing arts. I have a background in teaching in the industry and I was taught by some of the top hairdressers in the UK. I also had the privilege of being trained by Ian Carmichael, who was her majesty’s hairdresser. I spent 10 days intensive training in London to set me up for my career working on board luxury cruise liners as a senior stylist. My passion in hairdressing has taken me all over the world and I have won and been runner up in many competitions during my career.
I have been part of the Jane Alexandra family for 14 years and specialise in all aspects of hairdressing. I have worked with Wella colours throughout my career and at Jane Alexandra and we attend a monthly wella training workshops to keep us up-to date with the current trends and what’s new! I love a good colour, cut and blow transformation and I specialise in complicated colour corrections. My balayage colour technique is very popular too. I also have a lot of experience in doing hair up for weddings and special occasions.
My client base is very varied in ages and styles. With my crazy life of kids, dogs, a cat, the gym, travelling,walking and socialising; my salon life is my sanctuary and happy place. I love my job and I’m super friendly and instantly make everyone feel welcome and at ease.
Lauren | Senior Creative Cutting Specialist
I’ve been at the salon now for just over 2 years. I specialise in all things cutting; short hair cuts and bobs are my passion, but don’t get me wrong, I do love working with long hair too, making it all smooth & shiny with a keratin smoothing treatment or big and bouncy with a beautiful blow wave. I also add hair extensions for those looking for that extra thickness or length. Fabulous hair long or short brings a smile to my face.
I always knew I wanted to be a hairdresser and couldn’t wait to to get started when I left school. I now have 18 years experience and in that time i’ve been lucky enough to experience some amazing things; from working back stage at London’s fashion week to travelling the country as part of the L’Oréal ID artists team. Doing shows and being mentored by some of the industries top stylists, I have worked on many photo shoots and showcased my work lots of times at different industry events.
The highlight of my career without doubt is winning 1st place in the L’Oréal colour trophy awards. I was then flown to Paris, where I did a photo shoot with my model for Elle magazine.
Two little boys later, I split my time with family life and the salon. I love to be in a busy salon creating beautiful hair for my clients learning new techniques keeping on top of up and coming trends.
Abbianne | Senior Stylist
I am a stylist at the salon, level 3 trained. I’ve been hairdressing over 10 years. I’m up to date with the most current and latest trends. I love all the courses we do as a salon to continue our learning and love of hair.
My aim is to make you feel the best about yourself and happy with your hair because there nothing like new hair to make you feel confident and beautiful. I love doing balayage and low maintenance hair but I also love a challenge and creating total makeovers. Boho chic is my style and I love beach tousled waves because who doesn’t love looking ready for summer all year round.
Abi | Stylist
I’m a level 3 qualified hairdresser and have been part of the JA team for three years now and loving every second. I’ve been doing hairdressing since I was 14. From starting out as a Junior Apprentice to now being a fully qualified stylist on the salon floor, i’ve never looked back.
I love all things hairdressing, however, I specialise in blondes and balayages. My favourite part about my job is creating big transformations and restyles, it’s so much fun!
I love meeting new people and chatting to my clients, it really is a dream job! My goal in my career is to travel and take my hairdressing skills all around the world. I would also love to compete in lots of hairdressing competitions such as Trend Vision. I can’t wait to see what the future holds and continue to build up my clientele!

I love making clients feel special and happy when they leave the salon and i’m always keen to learn new things and do my best at different techniques.
I’m now excited to be doing my barbering course that I’ll be completing next year.
I love travelling, fashion, and the gym.
