Scotts salon for men

16 October 2007

Scott Chappell started his hairdressing career at the Marc Young salon in the Arndale Centre Poole, Dorset (now The Dolphin Shopping Centre). In 1982 he opened his salon for men using the technical skills found in ladies hairdressing combined with conventional barbering techniques to create a unique style of barbershop.

After trading for two years in the Poole salon it was necessary to move to larger premises so on 24th November 1984 the Mansfield Road salon opened. Since then it has established a first class reputation for traditional and contemporary hairdressing.

The salon operates an appointment system which means clients are given the time that makes them want to come back again and again.

Scott has been a Senior State Registered Hairdresser for over 25 years so clients can be assured that he has an unrivelled level of expertise in cutting mens hair.

November 2007 will see the 25th Anniversary of the business, this is due to a loyal clientele that receive excellent service from a dedicated hairdressing team. Scott has cut the hair of many stars of stage and television including Freddie Starr, Bill Owen, Geoffrey Hughes, Mathew Kelly, Lionel Blair, Stefan Dennis, Ruth Madoc and Su Pollard. Sports stars include cricketer Ian Botham, speedway riders John Davis, Sam Emolenko and Alun Rossiter, ex rider and now England Speedway manager Neil Middleditch.

Stylist Jo Squibb has worked at Scotts since October 1998 and has become a very popular stylist with both the young and senior clientele. She is a City & Guilds qualified hairdresser. In addition she also completed an Advanced Hairdressing Course and has worked in some of the best salons in the area. Jo has earned a reputation for being innovative and capable of creating the latest styles.
