HEADMASTERS – 65 SALONS, AND GROWING!
The Headmasters will see you now!
Over the last 35 years Headmasters has grown from a single salon in Wimbledon Village to an international group of 65 salons with a turnover in excess of £30 million a year.

The stuff of dreams, eh? But what’s it really like to run a business this big? Think of the staff headaches you go through on a weekly, if not daily, basis and multiply them by, ooh, 100 or so (Headmasters employs 1,400 people – mainly young, just like yours!), then add the issues of recruitment, training, communication, client capture and staff retention, not to mention the never-ending challenge of finding suitable premises for the next franchise opportunity… It’s not for the faint-hearted.
At Salon Smart you’ll get a fascinating insight into the inner workings of the Headmasters group, as core members of the management team share live onstage the issues, challenges and opportunities they’ve encountered over the past 33 years – and their insight into the future for our industry.
