MEET THE TEAM

Marion

Salon Owner

Marion met husband Bruce when she booked in for a haircut as a teen in 1974, and as they say - the rest is history. Married a year later, Bruce and Marion became partners in Sutherlands in 1978 and have worked together ever since. Marion is actually a qualified hairdresser and beauty therapist, but now focuses on client care and retail. Shopping is a big passion for Marion and clients love her collection of handbags, jewellery and clothing available in the salon. Known for always having 'her face on', Marion loves the Delilah makeup collection and can't live without Wella's Luxe Oil to add shine and condition to her hair. When not in the salon, Marion is very much family focused and especially adores her twin grandchildren.

Bruce

Director

Bruce began hairdressing at the tender age of 8 and over 60 years later, he hasn't lost his passion for his job. A wizard with the scissors, he has an enviable collection which due to their sheer number featured in a local newspaper. Career highlights include working for Vidal Sassoon in London at 17 and having the honour of cutting a fair few celebrity heads of hair, though Bruce considers all of his clients to be celebrities in their own right. Most of his clients know of his love of Wella styling product Pearl Styler, a unisex product to create texture and hold, and most importantly his joy at becoming a grandad to identical twin boys. Already he is passing on his passions of biking, boating and hill walking to his favourite little people - Austin and Will.

Amanda

Principle Hair Stylist / Colour Specialist

Amanda has been a stylist for over 20 years attaining the highest level of colour expertise - the Wella Colour Expert Award a number of years ago. Highly skilled in both cutting and colouring, Amanda is always in demand for her services as well as for keeping the salon super organised and tidy. Known as the prosecco queen at the weekends and for her ability to dance in sky scraper heels, Amanda's time off is never dull. Along with husband Paul, Amanda can plan an epic holiday and took time off to travel around New Zealand for a year in her twenties.

Sally

Principle Hair Stylist / Colour Specialist

Sally is another salon Master Colour Expert and has been cutting and colouring hair for over 24 years. Sally loves doing a full cut and colour service for her clients and seeing the benefits of the process from start to finish; but also relishes working alongside Bruce, taking care of the colour for many of his clients. Mum to daughter Ella, Sally often volunteers at Ella's school and when she has free time loves to host a summer BBQ and arrange lunch dates with family and friends. A product fiend, Sally is a big skin care and makeup fan and is owner of a very impressive lipstick collection. For hair she can't live without Sebastian Trilliant - a shimmering thermal protection spray that gently conditions all hair types. Her motto is - 'you wouldn't take your dinner out of the oven without wearing over gloves to protect your hands, so the same applies to heat on your hair'.

Wendy

Senior Hair Stylist / Senior Colour Technician

With over 33 years of experience as a hairdresser, Wendy enjoys the relationships she has built with her clients as much as the actual cutting and colouring aspect of her job. Renowned for her brilliant blow-dries and stylish cuts, Wendy loves a good holiday when not at work. She plans to visit as much as Italy as she can with husband Mark, so it's just as well one of her favourite dishes to eat is pasta! When not at the salon Wendy can be found at the gym and has recently taken up Pilates, but to balance her healthy endeavours she regularly enjoys a glass of wine with friends. As a stylist Wendy recommends Sebastian's Mousse Forte for 'frizz free, strong hold styling' and Wella's Luxe Oil 'to help repair damaged hair'.

Jacqueline

Senior Stylist / Colour Specialist

Jacqueline started as a stylist at Sutherlands in 2009 after completing her HNC in hairdressing at Dundee and Angus College. Since then she has attained both her Wella Colour Expert and Professional Development in the Workplace Awards and is a brilliant all-round stylist. Jacqueline particularly enjoys being able to 'transform a client's complete look' not only with cutting and colouring, but with the addition of tape or weave extensions. She believes 'all clients should use heat protection when using heated tools to style their hair' and recommends Sebastian's Trilliant or Wella's Thermal Image. Outside the salon Jacqueline is a keen gym goer, enjoys and box set with partner David and is learning how to garden since buying her first home. Fun facts - Jacqueline grew up on a farm and in her teens competed as a trampolinist.

Louisa

Senior Stylist / Colour Specialist

Amy

Senior Stylist / Senior Colour Specialist

With over 10 years’ experience as a stylist, Amy is always up for a challenge. Amy particularly enjoy restyle bookings, short hair styles and is also a competent colourist and barber. With having long hair herself, it’s no surprise Amy’s favourite salon product is Wow’s DREAM COAT Anti-Humidity Hair Treatment. ‘Anyone can use it. It works to cover each hair strand with an invisible waterproofing cloak and when incorporated with heat (hairdryer etc.) it compresses and seals the hair to create a smooth and super-silky finish’. In the salon Amy is known as a lover of fashion and enjoys shopping, particularly home deco since moving into her first flat. She also has a talent for painting and loves to bake, with chocolate (lots of) being her favourite ingredient. You can also catch Amy out walking or visiting the beach.

Sam

Senior Stylist / Senior Colour Technician

Sam has been hairdressing for over 9 years now and is a big fan of creative colour. Known for her beautiful balayage styles, Sam is keen to learn any new colour technique going. She is also a competent cutter and following any haircut, Sam reaches for Wella's EIMI Body Crafter to give a polished blow dry as it helps to 'build volume with smooth, flexible control and natural movement'. Known as the salon songbird, Sam can often be heard signing along to any playlist; but we know when it comes to the weekend, she can belt out a decent tune and has an impressive set of lungs. Sam loves to socialise and used swim and dance competitively, the latter coming in handy for her many nights out with friends or fiancé Ross.

Trainee Hairdresser

Alana

Beauty Therapist

Alana has been a beauty therapist based at Sutherlands for over 12 years now and is trained in all aspects of beauty. She likes being able to do a variety of different treatments throughout her day, but in particular loves working with Alumier MD (our medical range of skin care products) as 'the peel and facial treatments are very results driven and can give clients a huge confidence boost when they start to see an improvement in their skin'. She also swears by Alumier's Bright and Clear home care solution recommending clients to 'apply it like a toner to exfoliate, refine, brighten and protect the skin'. Away from work Alana is dedicated 'dance mom' to daughter Lois and enjoys gardening, working out and clothes shopping, though not necessarily in that order!

Mandy

Beauty Therapist

Zara

Beauty Therapist

Believe it or not Zara has been a beauty therapist for over 20 years. With such experience she has mastered a wide range of beauty treatments, but has a particular passion for skincare. Microneedling and peel treatments top her favourites list, but she also advocates ‘a good brow’ and ‘immaculate gel nails and pedicured feet’. At home Zara is a fan of our medical grade range of products from AlumierMD. Past a ‘certain age’ she believes everyone should invest in skincare solutions that actually makes a difference. ‘Retinol is a must to give an even complexion, increase cell turnover and to combat fine lines and wrinkles.’ When not at work Zara is mum to three boys and enjoys holidays away to warmer climes with her husband and family. She also manages to find the time to go to the gym, escape into the hills with her dog and spend time with her girlfriends.

Sarah

Beauty Therapist

Known for her quirky nail art and healing hands, Sarah has been a beauty therapist for over 7 years. She began her career working on cruise ships where she became a very competent masseuse, and says she 'loves the wellbeing effect of massage and helping to relieve her clients aches and pains'. Sarah also loves skincare and advises everyone to try retinol from AlumierMD as 'it is a slow release product and improves all skin concerns from fine lines to blemishes'. Sarah is a twin to sister Tracy and out-with the salon practices what she preaches, treating herself to regular facial and massage treatments. She also bakes a mean banana bread and enjoys a good video game.
