Meet The Team
Proprietor Janice Grieves
 Janice developed a thirst for knowledge after achieving a score of 100% in her hairdressing science exam at collage and has spent the last 25 years learning everything she can and has completed every course available. After finishing City & Guilds Advanced Hairdressing with Distinctions she went on to open Hairport in 1989.
She is now a fully qualified coach and assessor and Associate Trichologist.
Her favourite piece of advice is ; You can have designer hair if you treat it like designer clothing, follow the washing instructions, don’t tug at it tear it or mistreat it, hair is a delicate natural fibre. It can be either the best or worst thing you will ever wear, depending on how you treat it.
