Headmasters are go!

News added 21/02/19: Andrew Barton [a national treasure these days we sayl] is superbly accomplished taking centre-stage delivering shows around the world, enchanting the great British public with makeovers on national TV, and heading up session teams for campaign photoshoots. But his heart, it seems remains with salon-based hairdressing. Having joined the 60-strong Headmasters group as creative director some months back, Andrew’s now seizing the opportunity to re-establish himself on the high street by launching the Headmasters Mayfair salon in London, as a franchisee. The man with a meg-watt smile appears perfectly set in this amaze-balls location with a brand he clearly adores. We’re hoping for a party invite very soon…

Andrew says: “Since joining Headmasters as Creative Director I have been delighted to work alongside such a dynamic team and business. My role is to build upon the success and reputation of the salon group, lead the creative team, represent the brand as an industry leader and help to develop future strategy. Owning the Headmasters Mayfair salon as a franchisee will be the perfect synergy between my greater role in the business and leading the Headmasters flagship salon. My passion has always been to give clients beautiful, wearable hair and dedicated customer service in a great environment alongside a talented team of experts and I am so excited to fulfil this with Headmasters.

Tim Binnington, Headmasters Commercial Director, explains: “Since Andrew joined Headmasters he has immersed himself in our culture and belief of beautiful, fashionable, confidence boosting hair. By becoming a franchisee of our Mayfair salon his commitment can only strengthen the renowned Headmasters brand. I am really looking forward to Headmasters future.
