SECKINGTONS HAIRDRESSERS IN NORTHAMPTON
I recently joined the expansion party celebrations at Seckingtons in the Wellingborough Road, and, what an evening it was! There were handsome waiters serving up champagne Bellinis and canapés, a fabulous jazz band and lots of really nice people!
I got talking to Johnny Seckington, the main man behind the fabulous team and he said ‘This is our third expansion within 18 months now. We opened in March 2009 and since then, we’ve gone on to utilise 3 floors and have opened Seckington Beauty – a relaxation area for customers to get some well earned peace and quiet!
When we started out, there were just 3 of us. Now, within 18 months, our team is 10 strong. We take education very seriously and all of our staff are trained in London at the Aveda Academy. We invest a lot of money in training our staff, and we know that it shows in our customers’ satisfaction with our service’.
Johnny started his career in a small salon at the age of 15, but he quickly realised his talent and worked his way up to becoming Art Director and then Manager at a further 2 Salons. His credentials speak for themselves: He has been a finalist in many National Competitions and is part of the National Artistic Team for Aveda, whose purpose is to educate stylists up and down the country, for the last 2 years – not to mention the British Hairdressing Teams and National Magazine Awards he’s picked up along the way! In fact, he’s just got through to the Final 4 in 3 categories of the Aveda Pure Image Awards.
So what about Johnny Seckington, the man? I asked his close friend and colleague, Ashley Panter. ‘Johnny has the vision to develop this business like no-one else I know. He is liked by everyone that meets him – he’s genuine, generous and has the know how to create a style that suits the individual. He’s really great with people and very business focussed as well’.
So, what do you get when you go to Seckingtons? Well, a 5 star salon experience at an affordable price. They have a menu of drinks, luxury treatments, including the popular Brazilian Blow Dry – a keratin based treatment for coarse, wiry curly hair. Hair extensions are a specialist area and Seckingtons use only the UK’s best, Racoon. They can be used on short or long hair to add length or thickness or colour. Becky Allen is the extension specialist at Seckingtons, and will offer expertise, help and advice on how to change your look using Racoon Hair Extensions.
A great evening was had by all! The salon looks absolutely great - really sleek, inviting and a relaxing place to be.
