Our Team

Ash is the one and only, owner and creator of Ash Hair. Starting her mission in 2015 to build a creative space using upcycled aesthetics and only using the best products in the business. Ash is hugely driven and passionate which gave her the tools to create this innovative salon. Just after starting her hairdressing journey she was selected for the Schwarzkopf young artistic team, which only 10 people in the UK are chosen for. This involved working on photoshoots, stage work and styling hair for magazines. Within her two decades of working in the industry Ash has worked in west Didsbury as well as teaching at Tameside college and a member of the Kevin Murphy fashion team for Prague fashion week. You are unlikely to meet Ash without her lovable pug, Diablo, her partner in crime. If only Dabs was able to join her on her favourite holiday destination to Ibiza.

Starting her career in the south west of England she then embarked on a journey of travelling the world before moving to Australia where she worked as a senior stylist in Melbourne. Eventually settling here in Manchester and joining the team at Ash Hair. Kirsty’s passion for hairdressing lies in creative cutting, especially extreme short styles. As the salon manager, she looks after every aspect of the salon from the staff to the client care and everything in between.
