Hair Professional first opened its doors in King Street, Maidstone in 1979. The business occupied those premises for the next 45 years and saw many changes in that time…changes to fashion, technology and society.
We have met these challenges, survived and thrived, and now, adapting to a shift in the town centre environment and changes in the hairdressing industry as a whole, we have taken the bold step of moving to alternative premises in Penenden Heath where we will continue to deliver a high standard of service to all our loyal clients, and maybe even welcome some new ones.
We are operating from 'Bryant Barbers' in a partnership which we believe will be happy and fruitful for both of us. There is ample free parking, a spacious and stylish salon environment, and the convenience of an out-of-town location which is easy to access. We hope to see you there!

For Anthea, hairdressing is in her DNA; her father started Hair Professional in 1979 (the last of a long list of salons he had owned and run), and when he retired ten years later, she took over the business, having obtained her BA and MA in Philosophy and Theology. She has a wealth of experience and boundless energy, which is just as well as when she’s not hairdressing, she doubles up as the Priest-in-Charge of St. Andrew’s Church, Barming Heath. For her, the best parts of both jobs are connecting with people and helping them to feel confident and worthy.
Emma is a hugely experienced stylist who excels in all areas but has a particular love of highlighting, of which she is the undisputed champion. She is a mum of one and when she’s not at work, her daughter (now at secondary school) keeps her very busy. Emma is meticulous in her work and her clients are very devoted to her. They trust her implicitly for all their hair needs.
A DJ and a talented chef in his spare time, Philip is very fashion-forward and really enjoys creative cutting and colouring on both men and women. He entertains the rest of the team with his rubbish jokes and, not content with one world record (fastest marathon dressed as Mr. Potato Head), he appears to be going for a record collection of BBQs... eleven at the last count! Food and cooking is his passion and if you ever want to swap recipes while you’re getting a haircut, Philip is your man.
Larger than life, Marianna was born and raised in Italy and never lets any of us forget it! A warm and open personality, she is always the life and soul of any party, and she makes the best pizza and tiramisu in town! Her role in the salon is to support the stylists in any way she can.
Our booking times are tailored to our individual clients. For this reason, we don't offer the ability to book online but we are very easy to contact. In the first instance, please text your stylist if you have their number, or email [email protected]
You are very welcome to telephone at any time on 01622 677657 but please be prepared to leave a message and we'll get back to you as soon as we can. If we are all busy with clients, we'll not necessarily be able to answer there and then.
