Nick – Owner

An award-winning hairdresser with over 40 years’ experience, Bliss Salon Group Owner Nick now spends his time working on the business behind the scenes. 

Nick meets weekly with each member of the senior team who run the salons for him – the Bliss Angels, who share & drive forward the vision, values & mission for the company. 

A teacher and assessor, he has enjoyed the opportunity to travel extensively as a session artist hairdresser on photo shoots, film and TV in many exciting locations all over the world.

After spending an inspiring time living and working in London, Nick returned to his East Midlands roots. During his career he has opened five salons, leading to the three branches of Bliss Hair in Nottingham and Loughborough.

He continues to take inspiration from travel, but especially from the capital and all it has to offer in culture, arts, fashion and music.

Nick is really proud of the fact that he and Bliss have contributed to the careers of some amazing hairdressers who started out on the Bliss training programme, but he is especially proud of the current members of the Bliss Family, who continue to keep him motivated & inspired.

“I have learnt that in order to grow & develop, it’s essential I surround myself with passionate, like-minded people,”says Nick. “Although everyone is an individual, we all share a real passion for our craft.  It’s important team members have a positive attitude first – if that is not there, it just isn’t going to work.”

Nick has always thought that hairdressing is an overlooked art form and gained a degree from Nottingham Trent University in Fine Art Practice. As a mixed media artist, he fuses his role at Bliss by producing, exhibiting and selling work that concerns visual narratives and personal storytelling, a lot of which turns out to be autobiographical. 

Nick currently has several pieces on display in public spaces & exhibitions as well as on the walls of his three salons.

Nick shares his expertise & experience as a business owner by volunteering & being on the board of trustees for the NADP – National Association of Deafened People

He is also a trustee & active volunteer for a Nottingham based organisation called Hear Together

Nick is a member of The Fellowship for British Hairdressing & his achievements have been recognised with numerous awards & nominations over the years including UK’s Most Wanted Salon Team, British Hairdressing Awards, Shell Livewire, Edge Employer Awards, Investor in People, The Face of SAK’s Apprenticeships, British Hairdressing Business Awards and many more. 

“I know that as hairdressers we are masters of re-invention & this has always been reflected in the growth of Bliss – change is guaranteed & I’m looking forward to what the future holds for myself & everyone involved here. Watch this space!”

You can read some articles written by Nick on his blog – featuring some of passions including travel, culture & his experience of LGBTQ & other campaigns & activism. Of course Bliss is on there too. Nick’s “Sweeney Tedd” Blog.

Bliss : Best hair salon ever. I'm always thrilled with my hair do when I've been to Bliss. Extra big well done and thank you to the Bliss staff at the moment, no sooner was Lockdown 2 announced when I got a call from Bliss to rearrange my appointment that fell in lockdown. 48 Hours later after a super friendly, very COVID-19 secure visit to Nottingham Bliss I have an awesome new haircut. Big thanks to Maya and for all the hard work from everyone behind the scene. If you're getting your hair cut elsewhere, what are you doing? Go to Bliss instead!

Had a total transformation today with the wonderful and very talented team at Bliss. Walked in Blonde and came out Brunette. My stylist also cut a fringe in and I feel like a new women! Thank you so much! My stylist has been cutting my hair for a while now. I completely trust her and she always does an exceptional job. She listens to what you’re thinking and seems to just get it spot on every time. The team at Bliss are all super stars and I can’t recommend them enough

Abbie

Abbie – Level 1 Stylist

With a career that started at Bliss at the tender age of 16, our Loughborough based stylist Abbie can teach almost any hairdresser a thing or two. Growing up in a family with a hairdressing background she took the first steps on a training journey while serving her apprenticeship & gaining experience in our other branches in Leicestershire & Nottingham. Abbie eventually secured her current position as an all round stylist at Bliss on Biggin Street.

She has really made the most of all the opportunities on offer here to grow & develop. While she is an expert colour technician her cutting skills are second to none & it’s the everyday clients that she enjoys most – whether she is transforming them with extensions or simply giving them a fresh new haircut, Abbie truly embraces every encounter with regular guests & new customers alike. She is a very important part of the team at Bliss and can always be found putting a smile on someone’s face.

This year she was nominated as Team Blisser of The Month – The criteria set by the management team was for the employee with the best social media posts & quality of hair work. During this time Abbie had also had delivered on all her personal goals & gone above & beyond in her contribution to Bliss, so was really deserving of recognition for this. Thank you for a beautiful hairdressing journey so far Abbie – we love having you here!

Abbey Lee

Abbey Lee – Colour Technician / Youngstar Stylist

Abbey has worked at Bliss for a while now having arrived here when the salon she worked at closed down. Unfortunately, this coincided with Abbey not completing the final part of my NVQ 2 apprenticeship. We were only too happy to help!

“I was concerned that no salon would take me on because of this but the team at Bliss have welcomed me with open arms & I’ve even been able to stay with my training provider from Kleek & my end point assessment is now booked! After only a short time I can honestly say I have learnt more in that time than I had before. 

The salon has a total mix of clients & teams across the 3 branches I’ve worked in & I’ve never worked alongside deaf hairdressers before – I’ve even picked up some deaf awareness & I feel very comfortable here. I’ve had loads of training & even attended a cutting workshop with Ben Brown! It’s the best thing that’s happened in my career so far & I’m very happy to be here.”
