Magdalena

— Level 3 Colour Technician

Hi there! My name is Magdalena and I’m originally from Warsaw Poland. I’ve moved to the UK in 2016 to pursue my passion for hairdressing, learning the craft from scratch, and fell in love with hair colouring! Once I knew the basics, I focused on perfecting my techniques for all hair textures and hair types, so I could provide the best results for all humans.

Joining Ena and its sister company – Allilon education – was one of the best decisions I could make for my hairdressing career. I’ve truly learned from the best and now I get to work in a team full of friendly and dedicated professionals in a sustainable beautiful salon in the city centre.
My life outside of work is also fun – I’m into punk and metal music, singing, tattoos and cooking vegan food!

My love for hair colouring goes far and wide, but playing with creative, vivid colours is what makes me excited the most. Curly balayages and creative transformations are some of my favourite things to do! I am also highly skilled in colour corrections and classic looks with a lot of experience working with Asian and afro hair, so whatever you’re looking for, be reassured you’re in safe hands!

Don’t be shy – drop me a message on Instagram (@letsgroovehair) and let’s start your hair journey now!

Hi, my name is Amy.

I love working with all techniques to create bespoke colours for my clients. My favourite colours are all kinds of blondes. Whether that’s highlights, balayage or anything in between. If you’re after a great finish, I love styling hair too!

I hope to see you very soon and make your hair goals become a reality!

Monica

—Level 3 Stylist

Whilst living in Lithuania I took my first steps to nurture my natural instincts in design by indulging in clay and fabrics. This really opened my eyes to a whole realm of possibilities.

I later enrolled in a Foundation Art and design degree course in UK which led me, naturally, onto a university degree of Interior Design. My appetite for all things design grew further.

Instinctively, crafting something with my own hands felt like home for a true creative being like myself. Joining Ena gave me this opportunity. Since, I have never looked back.

I believe not only in the beauty and precision a haircut can supply to my clients, but also in the quality of the hairs upkeep, the importance of hair maintenance and its condition.

I will not only design your haircut but share tips, enhance your natural texture and what is best to keep your hair looking and feeling beautiful.

Hair - It's like a material for sculptors to create a sculpture.

Helena

—Level 3 Stylist / Level 2 Colour Technician

Hello, I am Helena and I am from Brazil.

After studying psychology for too long, I decided it was time for me to do something I was always fascinated about: a hairdressing course.

I started hairdressing in Brazil in 2015, I barely knew where this craft would take me. After working as a hairdresser in London for one year I heard from a friend about Ena. I visited the salon on an open evening event and that was it!!! I was sure that here I wanted to do what I love.

When I am not doing hair, I am usually busy with my canvases and brushes full of paint. Yes, I like to paint, well, maybe I like attempting it. Curious? Have a look on what I am getting up to at @scissorswithsamba. Can't wait to have you on my chair!

Ursula

—Level 2 Stylist / Level 4 Colour Technician

I joined the company in 2016 straight after I finished my training at Vidal Sassoon academy.
I love to create natural low maintenance cuts and colours. But if you’re looking to get something creative, bold and high fashion I am also your girl!

Don’t worry about any concerns you have with your hair, let me assure you I have seen it all.

Stel

—Barber

I have been in the hair industry for 20 years. I originally trained as a hairdresser and quickly moved onto barbering once I realised I had more of a passion for it.

I enjoyed making people look and feel great about themselves. I realised quickly the value I could add to someone through a haircut. It made me feel so good to give and this feeling led me to teach. I naturally progressed into sharing my knowledge, this led me on the path to becoming a professional educator, holding a VCTC assessors award for barbering and shaving at a level 2 and 3 standard. I have been fortunate enough to travel to many countries and connect with many people.

My goal has always been to make people feel great, whether it’s with a haircut, educating or just being there to listen. I believe I have the best job in the world, I just cut hair and have fun.

Aki

—Level 4 Stylist / Level 5 Colour Technician

Hi, my name is Aki. I am from the beautiful countryside in Japan.

I always loved playing with hair, ever since I was little I enjoyed being in the salon environment. My hairdresser at that time used to go to London for her training and introduced me to Vidal Sassoon. That inspired me to move to London to become a hairdresser. At the tender age of 18 I instantly fell in love with the industry and the social aspect of it.

In 2018 I took a course at Allilon, Ena's sister company. As I was hungry for more knowledge and wanted to improve my skills. This is where I met Johnny, one of the founders of Ena & Allilon, and the rest of the creative team. I was so inspired by their philosophy and passion for hair. I was offered a job straight after the course where I received further training for a year and a half.

I am now on the journey to become an educator. My goal is to inspire others the same way I was inspired.

I love all things hair, any type, any length and would be a pleasure to cut & colour yours! I Look forward to seeing you at the salon soon!

Tommy

—Level 3 Stylist

As a child I was always surrounded by hairdressers, either watching my mum doing haircuts in our kitchen or walking around the salon she worked in with my tape player singing to the clients. I remember I was either using my big brother's tubs of gel to style my hair in different styles, or making mohawks on my troll dolls.

The years passed and at 15 I wanted to experiment more with my hair so I seeked a new hairstylist. I found the coolest salon in my small town of Chatham in Kent and was totally blown away by the energy, creativity and buzz of the environment. Being quite shy it took me a few appointments before asking my stylist Ricky how to become a hairstylist.....I ended up with a Saturday job later that week. Soon after that job became full time and my training started.

After working in Kent for a few years and qualifying I was hungry to go deeper into my craft, I decided London was the place to go. Once relocated to London I spent my years working in some of London's most prestigious salons. Learning from some of the best hairstylists in the world, and serving a wide variety of clients from all walks of life. I believe this job really showed me the importance of human connection and by meeting so many new people on a daily basis has allowed me to become more open minded and compassionate.

This natural unfolding of love led me to Ena and its love for humanity and also hair and creativity. They really took me to the next level in my career, and allowed me to become the hairstylist I am today. For that I am eternally thankful. This salon will always be my home when I'm in London.

When i'm not in the salon I'm normally working on fashion editorials such as Vogue, Document Journal, Dazed and Confused and Elle or creating bespoke looks for different designers Such as Burberry, StellaMcartney, Vivienne Westwood and Nike etc.

When i'm not doing hair, I'm traveling the world experiencing different cultures, studying/teaching Yoga and Meditation, exploring flower markets with my partner or at home cuddling my dog Ziggy.

Serena

—Level 5 Stylist / Level 5 Colour Technician

I come from the peaceful Mediterranean island of Sardinia. I discovered my passion for hair at an early age practicing on dolls, family, friends and even my dog!

I have always been attracted to all forms of art, my purpose is to share my feelings through something made by me, with my hands. I found this opportunity in the craft of hairdressing. I strive to create a beautiful unique look for each of my beautiful and unique clients.

In 2013 I moved to London to realise my dream and I was lucky enough join Ena Salon. I began an intensive program of training following the highest standards. At Ena I found a second family, a very hard working team and I feel proud and lucky to be part of this team.

I enjoy sharing my knowledge teaching others during Ena staff training and for Allilon Education.

Hello,

I'm Lindsey and I've been with Ena as a Stylist and Technician since 2009.

I'm an expert in natural low maintenance styles such as soft highlights and balayage.

The most important thing to me about your visit is that you feel calm and relaxed and leave with hair that you can manage yourself at home.

And don't worry if you have very little hair or absolutely loads-there is always something to suit everyone.

I'm calm and down to earth and will always be considerate and understanding to you, your ideas and hair needs. Why not come in and have a chat?

Jake

—Level 5 Stylist

I began my career in hairdressing in Hertfordshire - aged 15 - before moving to a well-established salon in Covent Garden. Five years later, after hearing about its high standards and excellent training programme, I settled at Ena.

I gain the most enjoyment from being in the salon, getting to know each client personally and working with them to achieve the look they’re after, using the knowledge and skills I’ve gained over the years.

My inspiration comes from visiting exhibitions, watching films and listening to a wide variety of music but nothing inspires me more than the team I have around me at Ena.

Evie

— Colour Director

When I left school at the age of 16, I went straight to work and started my career in hairdressing world. I was based in London in a salon where I learnt how to blow dry and how to style different hair types. After a few years I felt that it was time to move on and so in August 2011 my time at Ena began. It was here that I completed my colour training and began to build a clientele.

I love colour and enjoy exploring lots of different techniques. My favourite tones to work with are blondes, whether it's a balayage or highlighted look.

After 4 years of working on the salon floor, I became a staff educator and now teach the younger generation on their training days. This has led me to become a part of the AllilON teacher training program. I have had the opportunity to travel with the team as well as teach courses in our London acadmey. In the future, I look forward to having a good balance between teaching and being in the salon.

Ana

—Level 5 Stylist / Colour Director

I’m Ana from sunny Barcelona and I have a secret to confess.

I was a good girl playing with my new doll and transforming her hair for very special occasions like Christmas and weekends.
However, that doll was going to be meeting new friends at a party and a radical look was needed. I cut her hair short causing sensation among girls and mothers and the hair never grew back.

So I tried again but I was told to stop cutting the hair of my fellow nursery friends. Then there were the acrylic colours. That is when I was tempted into the vibrant world of fashion and fun, always looking for new stylish trends.

In this pursuit I have worked with big names in the industry. Now is the time to absorb and contribute to the amazing Ena’s spirit.

Harriet

—Level 6 Stylist / Colour Director

Due to it being a passion from a very young age, hairdressing was my immediate career choice. I originally trained at Vidal Sassoon in 2005 and went on to work at an independent salon in Hertfordshire for four years. I left there to pursue more training and opportunities to hone my skills as a cutter and colourist.

Being at Ena has enabled me to be around creative people from whom I can learn on a daily basis.

I hope the future will hold opportunities for me to take part in shows in various corners of the globe, thus allowing me to pass on the knowledge and virtues I have been fortunate enough to learn whilst working at Ena.

I see hairdressing not only as a profession but as an art form; influenced by a wide and varied number of creative practices that when combined create a structured, yet organic end product.

Johnny

—Director

I began my career at 15 and through my training I was fortunate enough to be taught and inspired by many amazing and talented individuals, who in their own right are renowned within our industry.

At the age of 19, I qualified as a stylist and was transferred into the Vidal Sassoon salon in Covent Garden, working on the salon floor building a reputation as a potential prodigy within the company.

My goal was to become a “Creative Director” before the age of 23, which I was fortunate enough to achieve.

My passion is to educate and bring out strengths in others by developing, nurturing and supervising the staff within the company, training future stylists and teachers.

Finally - in 2007 after eleven loyal years at Vidal Sassoon - gaining intensive knowledge of the industry, meeting some of the most influential people and experiencing diverse cultures, I decided to follow my dream by forming a partnership with my best friend Pedro Inchenko whom I met on my journey.

Pedro

—Director

As a child my goal in life was to be one of three things, a racing car driver, a chef or a hairdresser. So at the tender age of 16 I started my hairdressing career at Vidal Sassoon. By the age of 18 I became the youngest ever teacher in the Vidal Sassoon London Schools and so my career began to evolve.

From teacher, to Head Of Diploma and eventually to Principle of the Advanced Academy - I soon realised that after 12 years at Vidal Sassoon, what I wanted more than to become a hairdresser was to own my own salon in the centre of London alongside my best friend and business partner Johnny.

Today my dream has become a reality. Welcome to Ena Salon.
