Ken Picton -


Hi! Let me tell you a bit about my take on running the Ken Picton salon...

I’m a glass half-full person, but with the ambition to ask, ‘why can’t we have it all perfect?’ I’m whole-hearted in the way I run my business; I’m a leader with a teamplayer mentality. Hairdressing? We’re on an adventure and my intention to be the salon that really nails it.

I opened my original salon, called the Zoo, in 1990, moving to the Cardiff Bay area in the year 2000 from when the salon was renamed Ken Picton. My passion for excellence has never changed; everything IS about the attention to detail and exceeding expectations!

WOW !!!!! What an incredible month we’ve had since my last blog. As you might have seen on our news and tweet pages we’ve had lots of great news! Firstly we found out we’d been shortlisted to the British Hairdressing Business Awards, For The Salon Of The Year Innovation/website of the year Business Director of the Year, We found out about the shortlists on the 13th july and I was flying out to Marbella for a two week holiday with my wife and 3 children on the 17th. The only thing was I had to come back to London for the business director interview > Now here’s the bizarre thing about it, I was sitting in the lounge at 6am in Malaga airport waiting for my flight back to Gatwick and who should walk in was Mark Woolley from Electric Hairdressing,who was also coming back from Marbella for his business interview as one of the other 5 shortlists. So Thanks mark for the company!!! I then returned to my hols and then found out I’d been shortlisted in the British Hairdressing Awards 2010 ,which im well chuffed about as we tried something different this year,which you will see shortly on our collection pages. And also a very well done to Dafydd Rhys,who has got into the Wella generation Team,so I’m sure he will have an amazing year as on of the up and coming stars of the future> KEEP CHECKING OUR SITE FOR NEWS ABOUT THE AWARDS!!!!!

Last week, I had great fun at the Clothes Show Live in earl’s court, I did a 2-hour slot on Your Hair’s celebrity Stop Chop stand, were we Picked some people from the audience for some dramatic make over’s. It always amazes me how many young women put their hands up for the big chop, yet when your looking for models for a seminar, they are scarce!!! After I finished my stint I was invited to the VIP area of the Clothes Show Style Awards in association with OK magazine. At the ceremony I sat in the front row with Desmond Murray, always a pleasure!!!!! Big congratulations to Jamie Steven’s for winning the celebrity hairdresser of the year. The fashion photographer went to the great Rankin, and the fashion stylist to Jonny Blue eyes. Paloma Faith sang and was amazing (she also won the best dressed woman of the year), and best-dressed man went to Ricky Whittle, The only shame was I had to drive back home to Cardiff and had to miss the after show party!!!!!
28.06.2010 @ 09:59:46
Things we do for our profession!!!! Monday I went to the House of Commons, for a luncheon with the hairdressing council and then afternoon tea on the terrace. All the good and the great were there, and there were passionate speeches from Andrew Barton and Akin Konizi, with regards to the need to state registered hairdressing,(shame the hosting MP couldn’t be there to see and hear the passion) In between the lunch and the afternoon tea, a couple of us went up to the public gallery to see what it is all about!!!!(Simon Bryer managed to sneak us to the front of the queue) I have to say it’s rather a bizarre spectacle watching these grown men and women jeering and standing up and down like yoyo’s, strange job indeed!!!!! The following day I went to my gorgeous daughter’s first ever sports day, She came first, second and last, so make of that as you wish, was funny though.
25.06.2010 @ 12:05:16
Well hello, Can I just say how chuffed and pleased we all are! As we found out last week that for all the effort and hard work wev’e been shortlisted in the MOST WANTED AWARDS 2010 We’re thru to the BEST SALON EXPERIENCE 2010 BEST ONLINE SALON 2010 BEST BUSINESS THINKER 2010 So well done and thank you to my team for their commitment!!!
02.06.2010 @ 09:44:38
WOW!!!!! What a month may was! It started with an amazing 2-day photo shoot with the genius Andrew O’toole, For the British hairdressing awards, and some editorial shots for press and the salon. The look was a complete move forward from last year’s collection, this year it’s very Italian Vogue’s keep a look out on this site for the launch! The following day I headed over to wella London studio,to take part in an event Called Winner night,in aid of habb. It featured all the guys from Hob salon,Darren Ambrose,Michele Thompson from Francesco group,I had the great pleasure of taking to the stage with the fabulous Desmond Murray,which was a pleasure!!!!! The following week was an experience,it started with me doing a business seminar to 220 Greek salon owners on “How to win in a Recession” Which was ironic as there country is in so much trouble!!!! And then the next day a front cover shoot for perfect wedding magazine from the Origins group which is always a pleasure. Then we had the ulcer enriching last minute dash to complete writing ,designing and printing our Most wanted award entrys.WHY WHY WHY do I always leave it so late! After the crazy week ,I headed up Birmingham to support Nicola,mellisa and rachelle who had all qualified for the midlands heat of Trend vision(apparently wales is part of the midlands).A gang from the salon came to support and were rewarded as Nicola got thru to the final of the colour catogary ,and rachelle qualified to the final of the young talent category,which will be held at the roundhouse in camden in september,which I’m sure will be an amazing event. I judged the final last year and it was fab we partied with feeder and jo whiley was a great compere,one things for sure my two have stopped me being able to Judge this year, The next day I went to London to judge the southern heat, with my good friend Simon bryer from Michael van Clarke and the lovely Leona from Sassoon’s. I have so say you can see why British hairdressing excels as the commitment and thought that people put into these competition amazing, and well done to them all. In between all this I’ve managed to be fully booked and look after all my clients Few!!!!Check back next week for my next blog x

Linzi - Salon Director


I began working with Ken in 1999 after meeting the man himself whilst  hairdressing in London. I've been fortunate enough to travel overseas a lot with Ken and the team.  I also do a lot of hairdressing shows and fashion shoots. I get great pleasure from seeing my clients really happy with their haircut, and giving them advice on any hair issues they might have. For me beautiful hair comes in all shades and styles… from short crops to long flowing hair…  from natural curls to modern cuts, so long as it's healthy and you wear it well!

During my career I have also gained further qualifications and I am now a trainer/educator and an assessor for our own apprentices in our salon training centre.

I've worked with Ken for 11 years. It’s a big part of who I am and has helped me become a successful hairstylist. I love the fact that I have real variation in my work from cutting to colouring, finishing to wedding hair. This allows me to take my client through the whole experience of the salon. Making clients feel special and giving them a great haircut means a lot to me and gives me enormous job satisfaction.

I've been in the industry 14 years and am experienced in working with all hair types. I specialise in cutting and styling, and putting hair up for bridal styles is a particular favourite of mine. I've worked in Australia, London and Cardiff, and wherever I am, I love making a client feel great and seeing the finished result. What gives me most pleasure about my job is that I can be creative, help people look and feel great, and get to meet all kinds of interesting people!

Hi all. x

Kelly - Director


Hi. I've been in the hair and beauty industry for 15 years, and am approaching my 10th year at Ken Picton. I am as enthusiastic as I was when I started - if not more!
Since the birth of my two children I work part-time, but I still give 100% to the salon. I love working as part of a great artistic team which enables me to gain different skills from my colleagues. Working alongside Ken Picton himself is great as his knowledge of the industry and his many years of experience are invaluable. Plus his enthusiasm and vision does rub off on you.
A big part of my hairdressing philosophy is to push the boundaries and get myself to the next level. This includes a genuine passion for bridal/dressing hair. I work very closely with Lara (our fabulous make-up artist) to make a bride's day as special and stress-free as I can - you name it, Lara and I have done it! I've also had the pleasure of doing a cover shoot for a wellknown bridal magazine, and I loved every minute. 
I enjoy every aspect of my job, which allows me to offer a full range of hairdressing services to my clients.
