Edward Hemmings

Creative Director of Alan d, Edward Hemmings is celebrating his 13th year in the hair business.  From Junior to Junior Stylist, Edward has worked right through the ranks of management and creative leadership - building strong foundations whatever his chosen arena.  He is now dividing his time between a Creative Directorship and Salon Management for the company that put the 'e' into education - Alan d.

Having enthralled audiences worldwide, created covers for leading magazines, designed hair for charity shows and starred on the small screen as makeover maestro, it's easy for Edward to say 'been there - done that', but he does not.

What Edward does say ensuring why Alan d. maintains their stronghold as market leaders in both commercial hairdressing and education, is 'how can I make it better'.

In reflection of Edwards attributes in hairdressing this remarkable 13th anniversary earmarks the launch of the dMan - the Barber shop, a new service with no confusion between butch barbers of old and the metro sexual expense of male 'groomers'.
