Louis Terry Hairdressing

We all deserve to shine, and a good hair day can help us do just that! Today we are introducing you to the wonderful Louis from Louis Terry Hairdressing who will give you that good hair day glow.

You can find Louis at Escobarbers in Kettering town centre, where he will be getting creative with hair transformations for his clients. Louis has always had an eye for style and has loved experimenting with hairstyles from a young age when he spent a lot of time giving his mum and sisters hair makeovers.

As a fully qualified, professional hairdresser, Louis’ skills are a cut above the rest. He’s dedicated to continuous learning and not just in the business to cut and style hair. He works to help people be the best version of themselves, and he has worked hard to become the brilliant hairdresser he is today. 

Louis’ clients adore and trust him because he has a great understanding of the science behind hairdressing and is more than happy to advise on what will work and what won’t, whatever the request. Louis knows what styles will suit his clients and enjoys using new techniques and products, as well as keeping his finger on the pulse of the latest trends, often those of star football players and celebrities!

Being a hairdresser isn’t just about making hair look great, it’s about making connections too. The relationship you build with clients is very important, you need to trust your hairdresser and feel confident you will leave your appointment looking and feeling good, I work hard to understand their needs and make sure there are no bad hair days!

I enjoy having a catch-up with clients at their appointment to hear all about what they’ve been up to, and I love talking through their hairstyle and colour ideas and working with them to find the right style, products and techniques that will transform their hair. Doing colour transformations is brilliant and so satisfying, there is so much you can do to make hair look and feel amazing. 

Every day is different in the world of hairdressing and that’s one of the reasons why I like it so much. I’m always learning new skills and techniques from other barbers and hairdressers which is brilliant. We help each other out, giving advice and compliments along the way, it’s a nice industry to work in.

There are also the challenging times when people come in with hair emergencies that need fixing. I’ve seen a fair few DIY box-dye disasters, and I’ve undone the results of many impromptu children’s haircuts where they have taken the scissors to their own hair. I enjoy the challenges and the humour surrounding these situations, I think I have seen it all!

One of the great things about being a hairdresser is seeing clients faces when you’ve brought their hair vision to life, I love seeing them leaving the salon knowing they are feeling confident and having a great hair day. I feel proud when they share their transformations on social media, and I love doing that on my own channels too, it’s amazing to see what you can do.

Having my own business is great. It has taken a lot of hard work, determination, and dedication to get to the level I’m at now, and I feel proud of what I’ve achieved. The practical side of the business is what I love to do, but the behind-the-scenes work is also enjoyable, there is always a lot to learn which keeps it interesting. I hope to have my own salon one day, that’s my ultimate goal in my hairdressing career.Louis - Louis Terry Hair
