We started 2019 by taking the HOOKER & YOUNG Directors and Managers on a conference trip to Dublin to the ‘Phorest Salon Owners Summit’.

Phorest is the brand of software that we use in all of our salons. We made the change in 2018 to Phorest from our old software provider, we felt that Phorest offered many innovative, client-friendly features that would work well within HOOKER & YOUNG.

The feedback we have had from our clients since the change over has been phenomenal. You’ve all welcomed the introduction of the Treat Cards (our loyalty rewards programme), regular text and e-mail reminders and of course online booking! Next year we will launch the HOOKER & YOUNG App to make your experience as accessible as possible!

Wow! What an amazing way to round off the year! The British Hairdressing Awards are the equivalent of the Oscars in the hairdressing world, there really isn’t any better achievement than been nominated for a BHA, not to mention actually winning one!

HOOKER & YOUNG were nominated for four awards at the 2019 BHA’S and to come back with the Colour Award was AMAZING! British Colour Technician of the year is a national award, meaning the nominees have been narrowed down to 6 people out of the whole of the UK and Ireland.

Winning is such a huge achievement, we could not be more proud!

Gary and Michael were nominated for British Hairdresser of the year 2019 for the twelfth consecutive year, their dedication to the industry has gained them huge respect and a desirable reputation.

They’re currently both Global artistic directors for Schwarzkopf professional and WAHL Professional and travel all over the world educating and inspiring other hairdressers as well as continuing to work in salon creating beautiful hair on a daily basis.

2019 saw both Gary and Michael host shows and seminars in London, Russia, Croatia and Poland to name a few!

In the past few years Michael has turned his hand to hair photography and this year he photographed every HOOKER & YOUNG collection at the British Hairdressing Awards, meaning our winning collection was photographed by Michael himself. A double achievement!

Prior to Molly winning a place on YAT IN 2019, four other team members from HOOKER & YOUNG have also previously won a place on YAT:

• Sophie Gibson – H&Y Gosforth
• Bevan Clark – H&Y Jesmond
• Joe Maughan – H&Y Ponteland

The Schwarzkopf YAT team is a great platform for any young aspiring stylist and provides a great stepping stone towards a successful career.

This year alone has already given Molly some great opportunities within the industry; she has travelled all over the UK working on stage, shooting photographic work, and taken part in many seminars and education sessions.

Of course, she brings all of this expertise back into the salon making her the best stylist she can possibly be!

2019 was certainly a year for giving! We would just like to take this opportunity to thank each and every person who sponsored any charity work that we hosted last year. We were blown away with your generosity and we managed to raise an incredible £4,556.50 for some very worthy causes!

Little Princess Trust:
We have been a partner of the Little Princess Trust for many years now. They are a charity that makes and supply human hair wigs for children with cancer, as well as raising money to fund research for childhood cancer. We work together and donate hair to enable them to keep making real hair wigs. We also have select members of our team who are specially trained in wig cutting.

Great North Run:
Molly ran the Great North Run on behalf of a good friend and fabulous colleague Kelly (owner of H&Y Skin) who unfortunately was diagnosed with breast cancer at the beginning of 2019. Kelly has been an inspiration throughout her treatment and continued to work at H&Y Skin whilst having 6 months of gruelling treatment. Molly managed to raise an outstanding £2989.50 for Breast Cancer Care! We are pleased to say Kelly has finished her treatment and we are all looking forward to a happy and healthy 2020!

Total Warrior:
Stewart, Michelle & Georgina raised £425 for The Brain Tumour Charity by taking part in Total Warrior!

Hair & Hounds:
Some of you may already know that the other passion of Gary and Michael’s (besides hair of course), is Dogs!
In 2019 we launched Hair & Hounds, an event created by Hooker & Young whereby hairdressers all over the country host a charity dog walk in aid of raising funds for two chosen Charities – The Hair and Beauty Charity and Dogs trust!
We hosted in Newcastle in October and it was a huge success. Hair and Hounds will be an annual event, so keep a lookout for dates this year. We already have some great ideas to make this year even bigger and better!
