I\u2019m Dominique, I founded The Blonde & The Bears in 2016 with a small loan and a big bucket of ambition – determined to creat a city style salon in our lush Lancashire countryside.\u00a0 Fast forward to today and I am proud of our salon being the busy, happy place with many loyal clients who are now firm friends.<\/p>\n

After growing up in Mawdesley I moved to London to go to uni and spent my 20s enjoying the city life being young, dancing the nights away! These days life is very busy and fun with my husband John (the hairy bear) and my two boys Stanley and Rudi and of course my first fur baby Pele the Jug.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not working in the salon you can find me dragging my kids out walking, doing yoga, going to the gym, going out for meals, cooking, planning holidays (going any where nice?!).<\/p>\n

I am lucky to have a very loyal client base that keeps me busy. I love doing blondes mostly and love a good hair cut but I cover all bases of hairdressing and for me it\u2019s about the relationship with the client and helping them get the most out of their hair.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”127996″]BOOK WITH DOM<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=”100″ gutter_size=”3″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_visibility=”yes” medium_width=”0″ mobile_visibility=”yes” mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/2″ uncode_shortcode_id=”128329″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”128697″]<\/p>\n

I\u2019m originally a local lad, though my career has seen me living most of my adult life in Manchester and London. My approach to life is to have very few interests, but to be deeply passionate about each of them. My love is my wife and children and my work. That\u2019s more than enough to occupy my time!<\/p>\n

My work is split between the salon and hairdressing education. I have spent almost two decades educating hairdressers at all levels and I have an education business that is used by some of the worlds leading hair brands.<\/p>\n

Though I\u2019m deeply passionate about all elements of hairdressing, when I moved to London as an educator I specialised in my main passion – cutting. Since then I have worked primarily as a cutter, and that is where I shine. I believe that the the best haircut is the one that suits an individual not just aesthetically, but also in their personality and lifestyle. I love working with natural textures, and endeavour to focus on making the cut right for the individual every day – not just when they leave the salon.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_accordion_tab][\/vc_accordion][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”960929″]BOOK WITH ALFIE<\/a>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image media=”492″ media_width_percent=”100″ uncode_shortcode_id=”133700″][vc_accordion sign=”plus” gutter_simple=”0″ uncode_shortcode_id=”146698″ active_tab=”0″][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=”2″ column_padding=”2″ title=”Alexa – Self Employed Stylist” tab_id=”1700136436-1-6″][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=”210878″]Hi there! My name is Alexa and I have been a hairstylist for over 15 years. I started my journey into the beauty industry by being a receptionist and learning the behind the scenes of how a salon operated.
\nFrom there I assisted many talented stylists over the years learning different techniques and being able to expose myself to lots of different types of hair. I have now been behind the chair for about 15 years.<\/p>\n

After years of continued education I have to truly found my love in doing colour, Specifically effortless colour. I do enjoy the occasional head of pink hair but on average you will find me convincing any and all clients to get some form of lightening in their hair.<\/p>\n

When I\u2019m not behind the chair you will find me snuggling my first born child Chester. He has four legs, he\u2019s really special\u2026 he\u2019s a dog.
