Katy Grimshaw
Salon owner
Katy is adept at spinning plates. She launched her Spectrum One salon in 2015 at the age of 25, and now manages a talented team of 16 stylists. Just two years later she unveiled her luxury human hair extensions brand, Spectrum One Hair, which is stocked in more than 2,000 salons across the UK and further afield – it’s even featured on ITV’s Dancing on Ice. She’s also behind Spectrum One Academy, where she’s is the lead educator, too. The goal? For every learner to leave feeling empowered with the knowledge to make their business more profitable and sustainable.
