Darren-Ambrose
Name: Darren Ambrose

Age: 40

Salon: D&J Ambrose salon, London

Career History: Darren Ambrose opened his salon in London, with his wife Jackie, in November 1996. Since that time his name has become synonymous with creativity, style and professionalism.


Darren's special brand of up to the minute styling expertise combines all that is new and fresh in hairdressing which means his work and hair care advice has been featured regularly in top consumer magazines.


His outstanding vision in the field of Avant-Garde hairdressing culminated when he took the title of Avant Garde Hairdresser of the year at the 2007 British Hairdressing Awards - though he has no intention of stopping there - this year Darren has once again qualified to the final of the BHA Avant Garde catagory.
