“It’s easy to colour bold and bright, but it takes an artist to colour hair soft and natural.”
With a wealth of experience in the industry, James Kinnear is renowned for his expertise in creating soft, natural hair colour that perfectly complements both skin tone and lifestyle. His personalised approach to colour ensures that every client receives a unique and luxurious experience tailored to their individual needs. This distinctive style has earned James a loyal clientele, including musicians, actors, and models who trust him to deliver exceptional results.
James’ career includes significant roles with some of the biggest names in the industry. He started with Trevor Sorbie, where he worked his way up to Colour Director and Salon Educator, before co-founding Brooks & Brooks, where he oversaw all aspects of the colour department. In 2010, James and Bryn opened Easton Regal, a salon that quickly became a favourite in the industry. His work has been featured in ES Magazine, Stylist, Time Out, Grazia, and The Financial Times. Now, James is focusing solely on what he does best: hair colour.
He’s thrilled to be stepping back from the day-to-day operations of running a business and diving deeper into his passion for colouring.
