About us
Our stylists include winners of regional hairdressing competitions, each specialising in their own areas, and there are three trained barbers among the staff.
Linda Miller
Salon owner, Linda, began as a Saturday girl at a salon in South Yorkshire and is now the proud owner of Southwood Hair Design. She formerly owned and worked at Pembury Hair Studio in Tunbridge Wells before moving onto teach and assess at a college in Kent."I class myself very lucky as I love my job and always have done. It is important to listen to what the client is saying during the consultation in order to get the finished result which would please them."
Pauline Carden
Pauline has been hairdressing many years (too many to recall), but still she feels fresh about the job because of the constant need to remain up to date with all the latest trends and ideas."I do this by receiving and carrying out regular training sessions by Goldwell."
Kelly Collins
Kelly, an established stylist, has added an extra string to the salon's bow, as she is highly skilled in colour techniques and all modern hair design trends. She previously worked at a salon in the centre of Tunbridge Wells. "It is important to listen to what the client wants." says Kelly.
Katie Hoare
Katie joined us in Summer 2011. She has become a popular team member and is building up a loyal collection of clients."I previously worked for four years in a salon in Tonbridge, but decided I needed to move on to somewhere where I could use all my skills. Southwood Hair Design has allowed me to gain full confidence and I am so pleased I joined the team", said Katie.
Katie is an excellent stylist and has a holistic approach to all her work. This is what Southwood Hair Design is all about. Katie is keen to remain at the top of her game and will be attending training courses at the Goldwell Academy in Mayfair, London. "She has become a true asset to the salon and I look forward to working with her further", said Linda.

Kim has worked at the salon as an Assistant/Receptionist for a number years even before Linda Miller took over in February 2006.Kim says 'I am a mum of two girls and find the job fits in well with my family life.'
