The chic team is full of brilliant conversationalists, especially Claire. It is an important part of being a hair stylist, and most of our clients love coming in to have a friendly chat.
But at the same time, we understand people lead busy lives where they may have been communicating with people all day or looking after active children and need some #quietmetime.
A trip to the hair salon is supposed to be relaxing, and while for some people that means catching up on what’s been going on in their lives, but not everybody is comfortable with small talk and want to relax and maybe just read their book or our up to date magazines.
Chic has taken the embarrassment away for those people who don’t enjoy small talk or want to talk. You just choose the #quietchair when you book your appointment.
We will still talk to you about your hair and what you want, but apart from that, you will be able to enjoy the experience in silence and read a magazine uninterrupted.
This option is only available on a Tuesday, when you’ll receive one to one with your stylist in peace and quiet.
Wherever possible please give 48 hours notice for cancellations as failure to do so will incur a cancellation charge.
Claire Marsden-Dyson
Founder/Managing director
I established Chic in 2006, being the backbone of the business, I am passionate about my role and I thrive on working hard. I strive to ensure that the Chic brand maintains its core values of ‘consistency, professionalism, passion, and expertise’ and I am confident that these values are delivered each day by my team that I treasure as the heart of my company.
I especially love the people aspect, I feel incredibly lucky to know so many wonderful people who absolutely make my day – I’ve never worked a day in my life – I love my job.
I use all my social skills at work during my busy week, so in my spare time I love hiding away in the country side with my family and my hens.
Gemma Spencer
Salon director
Gemma was delighted to join Chic in 2016, she has a love of hairdressing that is infectious. Gemma has a thirst for knowledge which has helped her create a fiercely loyal client base. She is always on top of the latest trends, finding ways to translate them onto the salon floor to make her clients look the best she possibly can. She has a complete devotion to hair and loves exploring the creative side of hairdressing.
” I’m so grateful that I found a career that I love so passionately – I always wanted to be a hairdresser from a young age. In my spare time I enjoy socialising with friends and I have a real love for travel.”
Kate Spence

“ I am so happy to be back at Chic I have worked locally in between having children, but Chic is where I belong. In my spare time I enjoy spending time with my family and the outdoors, having three children is very hectic but great fun.”
Lauren Kirby
Lauren joined the team in 2018 as an apprentice and has impressed anyone and everyone who has walked in her path.
Lauren is a very hard working, passionate and ambitious stylist, her immense work ethic and sharp skills have graduated her onto the salon floor as a confident senior stylist.
Although Lauren is young and still in the early stages of her career, she is an exceptional young stylist.
I can not wait to see what the future holds for such a talented stylist.
“I was so happy to be given the chance at Chic my passion and confidence just keeps growing each year that passes, in my spare time I enjoy meeting friends and going out in different places”
