PeterJames Scalp & Hair Clinic Scalp & Hair Clinic

The people behind the clinic and the chair

Every stylist works alongside the clinic side of the business, so scalp health is never an afterthought.

  • Peter, Director & Co-Founder

    Peter

    With over 12 years’ experience in the hairdressing industry, Peter began his career as an apprentice with Cheynes Hairdressing in Edinburgh, where he developed the foundations of his craft and quickly established himself as an ambitious and creatively driven young hairdresser. At just 19, Peter progressed to the regional heats of Wella TrendVision, alongside gaining experience in editorial shoots and magazine work early in his career. While these opportunities gave him an invaluable creative foundation, Peter soon discovered that his true passion was commercial hairdressing — being behind the chair, building long-term relationships with clients and creating beautiful, wearable hair.
