Andy Smith
Partner; Art Director; Wella Guest Stylist
Since beginning my career in 1998, and through much dedication and hard work I have achieved many accolades within the industry. These include Head of the Nirvana Artistic Team; a complete portfolio for both Tony and Guy and Wella; photo shoots for trade, consumer and high profile society magazines; and a photo shoot for Versace. I am also within a handful of top hairdressers in the country who have been named a Wella Master Colour Expert, which enables me to constantly stay in touch with the up and coming trends in London. I am constantly working hard to ensure a busy schedule for our art team, including regular photo shoots together with all of our salons and on location. I also work for the World’s no.1 in professional hair care: ‘Wella Professionals’ as a guest stylist in the London and Manchester Studios, teaching stylists from all over the U.K. Wella's techniques and visions for the future in our industry. (There are only three members in the team from across the U.K!) Most recently, I have been selected to join the Sebastian Cult Art Team; an exclusive group of 6 stylists from all over the country.
Through the years of working for Nirvana I have helped make important decisions regarding the business, working to moving the company from strength to strength, which I have now become a partner of with entrepreneur Tim Swain and wife Victoria. Together we strive to ensure excellence in every part of the business and with the vision of expanding, you never know there could be a new Nirvana salon opening nearer to you in the near future so watch this space! |

Louise Allison
Salon Manager & Creative Stylist
I’ve been working at Nirvana since 1997 and I have worked my way up from Saturday girl to a manager. During my time at Nirvana I have attended courses such as Barbering, Creative Colouring, Advanced Cutting, Hair extensions and Hair up. I was chosen to be guest stylist and make up artist on a photo shoot for Versace which included a trip to the South of France. I’ve helped organise shows that Nirvana have been selected to do which I really do have a passion for. My goal is that every client that walks through our doors will leave loving their experience.

Maria Sharpe
Beauty Therapist
I have been in the beauty industry since 1997 and in this time I have had breaks from the industry, one of which was working for a high street bank, but realised my heart was still with beauty therapy so when I began my career with Nirvana it gave me the opportunity to be in an expanding team who are dedicated. I am constantly learning new treatments so I can offer my clients an extensive treatment menu. |
