Pat Roussou has been in the hairdressing industry for 26 years. Her husband and business partner Chris Roussou is a property developer. The combination of their talents has established Liverpool’s Hairsmiths salons as leading lights in accomplished and affordable hairdressing in stylish and welcoming surroundings.

Located in the city’s suburbs, in the West Derby Road area and Aigburth respectively, the two Hairsmiths salons are an important part of the community and specialize in high quality colour work. The look of the salons is a collaborative effort between Pat and Chris and comprises a subtle scheme of chocolate brown and cream, with a suede covered feature wall as a focal point in each. The results are both contemporary and unpretentious reflecting the attitude of Pat and her likeminded team. The sense of Hairsmiths as a family business is intensified by the fact that Pat’s sister Vera is the manager of the West Derby Road salon.

The Hairsmiths salons’ teams enjoy a trusted position as hair experts and as such like to encourage their clientele to go beyond the comfort zone. "This is a challenge that has been made easier by the fact that clients are more confident these days in themselves, in the industry, and in the professional abilities of our hairdressers," comments Pat.

Her desire to mix things up is driven by the fact that three years ago the salons invested in the ColourFactory hair colour system. State-of-the-art mixing machines were introduced to both salons and have proved an unqualified success. The Rousssous' agenda in pursuing this forward-thinking colour philosophy is to remove the inconsistency of repeat shade matching from the hair colouring process and in doing so they are one of the first UK salons to embrace this technology. The in-depth colour consultation remains the same, as does the initial shade selection, but in all other aspects of the process the possibility of human error has been eliminated. The 32 pure pigments can be mixed to achieve an infinite palette and deliver the true meaning of bespoke blending. At Hairsmiths, ColourFactory is used for every colour service – from slices to semi-permanent, colour bath to high lift blonde. “We find that the quality of the colors produced is superior to anything else we’ve tried, for instance fade is far less of an issue,” explains Pat.

The Hairsmiths salons’ comprehensive menu of hair services also includes creative cutting, perming, bridal hair and the team of 14 caters to a broad demographic of clients who enjoy the combination of high standards and a down to earth approach.

Retail product ranges include the Schwarzkopf Professional product portfolio, TIGI haircare and ghd irons.
