The owner of the salon with a wealth of experience of 27 years hairdressing. She started her career in Surrey and was lucky enough to be taught by her employer, who was an inspiration to her. After moving to Devon over 12 years ago, Kathy ventured into the opening of her own salon in 2011 and hasn't looked back since. She is very proud of the salon and the staff.
Grew up in Northampton, and wanted to be a hair stylist after watching a hairdresser friend being creative with colour. Ange still loves colouring, especially when she's creating vibrant colours for her guests. Along with colour, she also likes creating hair up styles and helping the apprentices with advice and technique.
Ellie joined us in 2016, previously working as a senior hair stylist in Barnstaple for a number of years. Ellie started working in a salon age 15 after always accompanying her mum when she had her hair done, being fascinated watching the stylists! She qualified in 2011 and enjoys cutting and colouring, especially short hair. Ellie says she really enjoys meeting new people and catching up with her clients! - She's also Kathy's double - eveyone gets these two confused, even us!
Has been with Nirvana since the very beginning and is always positive influence on us all. Rosie is from Stoke on Trent originally but has lived in Devon since she was a child. Having worked in salons since she was 14, it was a natural progression to follow on to be the confident stylist that she is. Rosie loves cutting and being creative with an individual look, and she specialises in hair up and bridal styling.
