Hairdressing education and training

Copper balayage with long waved layers, A&K Hair & Beauty Prestonpans

With 30 years' experience in the hairdressing industry, I'm passionate about sharing the knowledge and techniques I've developed throughout my career and continued education.

My training is focused mainly around precision cutting, strong foundations, and understanding the 'why' behind the haircut, rather than simply following a step-by-step pattern.

- Lisa, Owner

One-to-One Training (Precision Cutting)

Bespoke training, tailored around the stylist and what they want to work on. This includes sectioning, graduation, round graduation, bobs, precision lines, short hair/pixies, layering, over-direction, weight placement, disconnection, bone structure, and face shape.  Suitable for qualified stylists who want to refresh their skills, improve their precision, or simply build their confidence behind the chair.

Client words

What clients say about the salon

Just had my 1st appointment with Lisa and I think I've just found my forever hair stylist. From the moment I walked into the salon I felt relaxed, welcome and comfortable. The service was exceptional and Lisa has a wealth of knowledge and experience; she knew exactly what I wanted just by listening to me and looking at my hair. I left the salon feeling happier with my hair than I have in a long time and also feeling like I'd found a place where I could just be myself amongst good company. I highly recommend this salon.

Tracey

Been coming here for 15 years for Lisa to cut, colour and style my hair. I have always felt welcome and relaxed enjoying the laughs with staff and other clients. Love the extra touches like the relaxing head massage, cups of tea, and occasionally on special occasions, a wee glass of Prosecco. Thank you, Lisa, for everything xx

Audrey

I came out of the salon looking like a much better version of myself. My hair looks amazing: the colour is fantastic and shiny, and the layered cut added volume and flow to my hairstyle. Lisa and Natalia were both very professional, friendly and made me feel comfortable from the moment I walked in. Highly recommended!! Lisa is a top professional who knows what she is doing.

Patrizia

You will never go to another hairdresser again when you have been to Lisa's, really amazing at colour and listening to what her customers want, I will never get my hair done from anyone else and also, I have been going to Lisa's for years and she has become a great friend all because she is amazing at doing hair and of course her personality, I love my new colour.

Lisa

My daughter and I recently had our first appointments with Lisa at A&K and we both had such a fantastic experience. I have short hair and was looking for a restyle and my daughter needed her curly hair coloured back to its natural shade along with a specialist curly cut. From the moment we arrived, Lisa's knowledge and expertise were evident. She took the time to understand exactly what each of us wanted and offered personalised advice that was tailored to our individual hair types and needs.

Lindsay

Lisa is really professional. She's a good listener and great at haircutting. Me and my daughter have had the same style of haircut and we both really appreciate her work. The way she's looking after us. Very professional and friendly service indeed. Thank you, Lisa

Anna

I have known Lisa for 32yrs and for as long as I can remember she has been doing my hair. I have thick, nightmare hair and Lisa works her magic every time. I'm very fussy about my hair and for that reason wouldn't trust anyone else. When I got married in 2022 it was only right that Lisa do our hair. She arrived at the venue bright and early and single handed done me and 6 bridesmaids aswell as my Mums hair. Lisa's professionalism and attention to detail was reassuring on the biggest day of my life...

Vicki

I had my hair done by Lisa for my wedding day. It looked fabulous! I also had my make up done by Nicola and it looked amazing. I had so many compliments on my hair and make up all day. Thank you so much xxx

Debbie

Lisa is an absolute talent at what she does. Brought my hair back to life and knew the exact vision I had in mind - cut and blow dry queen! I can't wait to come back.
