Behind the Chair: A Day in Mary G Hair Salon

When clients walk into my Tettenhall-based salon in Wolverhampton, I want them to feel one thing above all else: this is more than just a hair appointment—it’s an experience, tailored entirely to them.

As a finalist for Best Hairdresser of the Year and Best New Salon of the Year 2025 at the Hair & Beauty Awards, it feels like the perfect time to take you behind the scenes and share what a typical day in the salon really looks like.

The Calm Before the Creativity

I always begin the day by setting the tone—cleaning, prepping, and making sure every detail is just right. From the fresh towels to the lighting, music, and even the way the coffee’s served, it’s all part of the atmosphere. My salon is designed to feel calm, intimate, and restorative. A moment to pause.

My space is private and 1:1 only, meaning you’ll never be rushed or juggled with other clients. Every appointment is uninterrupted and focused purely on you.

Bespoke Colour, Precision Cutting & Real Conversations

Each appointment starts with an in-depth consultation. Whether it’s bespoke balayage, a transformative haircut, or a keratin smoothing treatment, I want to know how you feel about your hair—not just what you want done.

We talk face shape, lifestyle, maintenance, and what will truly suit you—not just for today, but for weeks to come.

This isn’t a conveyor belt service. It’s about crafting hair that works with you—and makes you feel like your most confident self.

The Little Touches Matter Most

Clients often tell me that the small things make the biggest difference: the reclining massage chair at the basin, the head massage during your treatment, the quiet time (or deep chats), and knowing that you’re not being rushed out the door.

Even the products I use are chosen with care—like Wella Professionals for colour and home care, or Wella Ultimate Repair for deep conditioning. If you’re here for a keratin treatment, you’ll leave with sleek, frizz-free hair and expert aftercare advice.

End-of-Day Reflections

When the last appointment finishes, I tidy up, reset the space, and often take a moment to read reviews or messages from clients. Every 5-star review on Google reminds me why I built this salon the way I did: to make women feel seen, heard, and completely looked after.
