EDUCATION AMBASSADORS

Daniel Granger

DANIEL
GRANGER

@danieljgranger

Salon owner, Schwarzkopf Ambassador, ½ of the Hair Team on E4's Body Fixers.

After getting to grips with the basics it became clear I could create every day, I could sculpt and craft with the same artistic ideals, but the positive re-enforcement I received from family and friends after a cut was instant and addictive. Looking back, I would not have chosen to pursue anything else. My drive and my ambition were to own my own business.

From an early age I had seen others build their careers but lose sight of the love that started it for them. I wanted to open a salon with the right philosophy and intent behind it, making the client satisfaction the most vital part of everything we do. I am known for my TV work on "Great British Hairdresser" and more recently starring on "Body Fixers" where I was able to showcase my creativity, flare and art, whilst restoring confidence and happiness back in to my clients.

My strongest passion in this industry is education - whether it is for Schwarzkopf or within my own team. Even now, as I take on new knowledge, techniques and skills, my first thought is how can I apply these and easily impart this information onto my team and others.
