A Glasgow hair salon has scored a sweet deal with a celebrity stylist who has worked with top-notch clients like Jerry Hall and Eva Longoria. Bloom Lifestyle, a Scottish brand with a salon in the city centre, will now offer appointments with Andrew Barton, the renowned hairdresser who was a fixture on the popular TV show 10 Years Younger for eight years. The salon opened a branch in London last year, where Barton sees clients, and starting from December, he will also be available at the Glasgow and Aberdeen salons.
With over thirty years of experience in the industry, Barton, who is 57 years old, is one of the most respected names in British hairdressing. The owner of Bloom Lifestyle, who is also a hairdresser, decided to expand to London last year, and now the plan is for Barton to visit Glasgow every couple of months for a few days to offer exclusive haircuts and finishes, while the expert team at the salon will handle the colouring.
Barton believes that salons can be intimidating places, so he wants to take away some of that anxiety by offering pre-consultations remotely. He wants to make sure that everyone feels comfortable and confident when they visit the salon. Barton’s expertise gained him fame on the show 10 Years Younger, which had around 10 million viewers at its peak. The show taught the public that transformation and feeling great about oneself don’t have to involve surgery or expensive dental work, but can be achieved through a fantastic haircut and colour.
Barton’s journey in the hairdressing industry began when he joined Lorraine Kelly’s make-over team on her breakfast show. He then went on to be a part of Ten Years Younger for eight years, where he witnessed genuine transformations and helped boost the hairdressing industry. Barton’s down-to-earth approach and talent have earned him a loyal following, including celebrities like Eva Longoria, who booked him for four days at the Cannes Film Festival after a frosty start.
Apart from his work in the salon, Barton is also an ambassador for the Little Princess Trust, a charity that provides wigs for children undergoing cancer treatment. He is also involved with Project Eileen, which offers training for teachers on supporting children affected by bereavement. Barton’s passion for helping others and his dedication to his craft make him a well-rounded and respected figure in the industry.
In addition to his salon work, Barton has two new TV shows in the pipeline. One of them involves him interviewing celebrities while cutting their hair, providing an intimate and unique experience. Barton’s expertise and honesty are key to his success. He believes that a good consultation is essential for a great haircut or colour, and he is not afraid to turn clients away if he feels it’s not the right time for a change.
Barton’s collaboration with Bloom Lifestyle is an exciting development for the Glasgow salon and its clients. With his wealth of experience and celebrity clientele, he is sure to bring a touch of glamour and expertise to the salon. So, if you’re in Glasgow and looking for a fabulous new hairstyle, keep an eye out for Andrew Barton’s exclusive appointments at Bloom Lifestyle!
