(Freelance Colourist)

One of BAU Hair Design's co-owners, Fraser has been a colour specialist for 25 years. He loves classic colour techniques and finding the perfect look for his clientele, whether it's a simple base colour or something more creative, he says it's all about suitability and individualism.

Kicking off his hairdressing journey with Sassoon in 2000 at the London Academy, he became a fully fledged colourist by 2002. Working in different UK Sassoon salons, Fraser then moved to San Francisco in 2006. Climbing the ranks to Assistant Colour Director, followed by Colour Director just 2 years later, he managed the colour department and taught weekly classes at the salon's education centre.

In 2010, he headed back to the UK to head up the Edinburgh salon, mentoring younger stylists and working with a fantastic team, leading to being named Colour Director of the year in 2012 and 2017.

"One of my favourite things about my job is having such a fab regular clientele. It's just lovely getting to know them and seeing them throughout the year."

Gareth started his career 26 years ago in a salon called LCT in Elgin.

In the 6 years working there, he developed his skills and progressed to being an assessor, helping others learn their craft. He joined Glasgow's Sassoon in 2006 to hone his skills and after completing classic and creative training, he very quickly took on the role of mentor and assessor once again after only 5 months. Whilst winning accolades such as Look of the Season and Stylist of the Year, he developed a strong eye for detail and suitability, building a very loyal clientele.

He became Assistant Creative Director at the start of 2011 and started to split his time between Glasgow and Edinburgh to deliver training as well as doing his own creative work. In 2013, he was promoted to Creative Director of the Edinburgh salon which gave him the opportunity to lead his own team; getting the chance to deliver teaching and be a part of hair shows in various places globally. Since the very beginning at BAU, Gareth has been instrumental in developing all of our collections and sharing his passion for hairdressing to our team, as well as taking part with our team in various seminars we have held in the salon.

"I pride myself on my ability to deliver a high standard of work, always paying attention to the finer details and making clients feel at ease."
