With 25 years of beauty experience and customer service knowledge, I really do love being in this industry. I have gained great practical knowledge on waxing, manicures, pedicures, facial treatments and eye treatments, along with expanding my skills to laser hair removal and hydro facial treatments. Working with Dermalogica and Decleor, I have gained a huge amount of knowledge about skin making sure I understand each clients needs. I love the journey I go on with my clients knowing they always get the result they wanted. My passion is to make you feel beautiful and confident about yourself. Having been with Hush for over 5 years now, I have met some fantastic people and been able to further my knowledge and grow with my clients everyday!
Hey, Iâm James Holmes, and I am the co-founder and salon director at HUSH Hair. I have been in the hair industry for 20 years in Birmingham, 12 years of that was establishing Hush in the city centre. The previous three salons I worked for were 5 star rated salons to which I gained a great amount of knowledge in cutting/styling and customer service, as well as seeing how a successful a business runs. Over the years, I have gained a respectful amount of clients that range from local personalities to people traveling afar to see me. working with brands such as Lâoreal, Kerastase and Redken has given me great insight into fashion which keeps my passion for hair growing every day!
I was 14 when I started in the hair industry, then qualified at 17 and I have not looked back! Six years later, I have grown to love short hair styles and really enjoy bold colours. I have attended many creative courses focusing cutting and new colouring techniques. This has helped me perfect my skills amazingly. Also working with brands like Kerastase and Lâoreal, I have gained a generous amount of knowledge which has enabled me to work with different hair types and hair textures.
Iâve been in the hair industry from the age of 16 and have grown from strength to strength over the past 9 years! My passion is for cutting and colouring, especially blondes and balayages. Iâve managed to grow a pretty respectful clientele. Some of my greatest knowledge comes from attending LâOreal Creative Colour Courses, along with Goldwell Master Stylist Courses too. In the last few years, I have been able to assist on photoshoots for hair extensions and also been apart of behind the scenes Midlands Fashion Week. My favourite part of hairdressing is making people look and feel confident and happy and helping them through there hair journey to achieve their goals!
I started working for Hush at age 14 on Saturdays, then started my apprenticeship finishing at NVQ level 3 which I was super proud of. My main passion for hair is technical colour and extensions. I love balayage and long hair transformations. Colour change and Colour correction are also favourite of mine too. I started a training course early 2023 with Mesh integration system. This system allows clients who have lost hair due to medical reasons a chance to love themselves again. It helps give confidence back too
