Pat, Tina, Sue, Rebecca & Beccie
Excellence comes as standard at Total Look. All our hair stylists and colour technicians are rigorously trained and have developed a thorough knowledge of hair and scalp conditions, precision cutting, expert colouring and creative styling.
These high standards have been achieved under the direction, vision and individual mentoring of salon director and owner Pat Gammon.
Pat's ability to interpret the latest style trends together with her technical cutting skills have gained her a reputation that has clients returning to her time and time again. Confident, caring and fun to be with, Pat's warm personality endears her to both her clients and staff alike.
Through her bespoke in-salon training programme Pat has taught her team not just the importance of creativity, technique and product knowledge, but also to take time to listen to you and truly understand who you really are, before you leave the salon with your own beautiful total look.
Pat Director & Owner
Pat's career as a hair stylist has been her life-long driving force, her hobby, her profession and her passion. It's a bit of a cliche to say that Pat is a consummate professional but she truly is just that - a professional in her art and her business. She has style and flair, superb technical skill and she's an inspirational teacher.
Favourite hairstyle
Pat loves the romantic and sophisticated glamour of styling long hair. That said, her short cuts are exceptional - on trend, perfectly cut and easy to manage.
Favourite product
Pat personally chooses every product she uses in the salon and if you ask her to recommend her favourite she'll want to know first of all what your hair needs. She'll also tell you what not to use... for goodness sake don't mention henna!
