It all began when I was 15 working a Saturday job in a salon in Halesowen. I knew I wanted to be a hairdresser, but I always knew I wanted to be the best! I aimed to be like Lisa shepherd who was the most local famous hairdresser where I lived. As soon as I knew there were competitions in my industry, the more I was sold. I’ve always been super creative, passionate, and driven.
AUTUMN/WINTER 202220
When did you open your salon, and how has business been for you over the last few crazy years?
Helen Tether is the Salon Director of Helen Tether Award Winning Hair, based in Halesowen, West HelenMidlands.hasbeen
FROM STYLIST TO PHOTOGRAPHER
working in salons since the age of 15 and went on to become an award-winning stylist – taking the crown at Wella TrendVision and Colourworld for her incredible creative work.
HELEN TETHER
Hi Helen! You have had a very successful career, where did it all begin?
Now, Helen is taking her turn behind the lens, as she embarks on a new passion of photography and creative direction. We caught up with Helen to talk to her about this new venture and what advice she has for other stylists who would like to go down this career path…
I opened my first salon, Sensu, in Kinver when I was 24. I then moved into Halesowen town centre when I was 30, but the rent and the business rates were so high I decided to renta-chair for a while and rid myself of any staff.
GOOD SALON GUIDE 21
Anywhere and everything! I don’t use mood boards, I know everyone does, but I’m different. I see inspiration from social media, following clothes designers etc. I see a certain look, I make it my own and then I figure out the styling, outfits etc.
Since then, I had a daughter and decided to open another salon but call it Helen Tether Award Winning Hair. It was only a small salon, consisting of two mirrors and one basin. But after six years of opening, I extended into the shop next door. I now have eight sections, two basins, and three self-employed rent-a-chairs. I knew I never wanted to employ again; however, I always need an assistant, so I employ a trainee three days a week.
AUTUMN/WINTER 202222
When the Covid lockdowns began it was all very stressful! Closing your salon and being self-employed was hard, but I took what I could from the government to survive. Business is booming now, and I’m loving the fact we can all work together again with no masks and social distancing.
I have noticed on the credit sheet for your latest collections that you seem to be spending more time behind the lens. Tell us about your journey from stylist to stylist/photographer.
I love being both! I think the fact that I’m a hairdresser and photographer makes a massive difference. Some photographers are looking at the whole image, whereas I do do that, but I also mentor the person regarding the hair too. I will say if something doesn’t look right. Some people need the creative direction.
For stylists and salons thinking about creat ing a collection for the first time, what advice can you give them?
My first ever collection cost me around £6000! I went with a photographer who was very well known in our industry and I had complete confidence that I would get through to the BHA finals. I figured that all the winners were using him, so I thought it was what I needed to do to get there as well. Unfortunately, I didn’t make it, and I have tried for the last four years. I have used other photographers, but I always get disappointed with the finished images, and it always costs a fortune. So, I figured if I learnt how to do it myself I could recreate everything that’s in my head without the massive hole in my pocket! I bought a professional camera, had some studio lighting lessons, and away I went!
Did you have any previous experience or qualifications in photography, or did you learn this from past collections and working with other photographers?
When creating a collection and thinking about the photographic aspect, where does your inspiration come from?
GOOD SALON GUIDE 23
Purchase a good camera and a long lens. I use a 70mm-150mm so I can stand further back and crop in later so I don’t lose any detail or worse any hair. I did that before, used a 50mm lens and the shot was great but when I wanted to crop it, the hair was getting cut out!
Choose a good salon, do an apprenticeship, as I feel this is the only way to become successful from such a young age! Earn and learn but learn from the best!
A good concept is key, but I do feel spending the money on a good model is essential. You can do the best hair work, but if the model isn’t a model and she’s not confident it will show in the image. It’s best to get loads of looks on a professional model so you have more choice, because you can be shooting all day just to get one if the model is not competent! However, I do find a lot of my models from the salon, and I have been successful with one or two - and one even made a career out of it! But they must have a look about them! The quirkier the better!
What advice would you give to anyone beginning their journey as a hairdresser?
What are your future goals and plans? What can we expect next from Helen Tether?
My one and only goal now is to be Midlands Hairdresser of the Year at the BHA. I’ve won many others, but this is the only title I need. I will keep trying - and to win with my own photography would be just amazing!
Why do you think young people should choose to go into our industry?
Hairdressing isn’t just a job, it’s a career in which you can reach the top! It’s inspiring and more of a social life for me.
And for those now wanting to spend more time behind the lens, what advice can you give them?
Helen Tether offers an incredible photography package for only £1,500! This includes the photography along with 8 photo edits, studio space, and lighting and photography assistance. Plus you will also get Helen’s incredible skills as a stylist and creative director! For more information, email Helen at superstartether@outlook.com
Also find a photographer who inspires you and ask him for advice. I used a great photographer in Aston, Birmingham who works with the Royal Ballet. I went to his studio, and he taught me so much about backdrops and studio lighting. I use his studio if I need a large area, like if I want full body looks, but personally I have a very simple studio setup that only cost me £300 at the salon for head and shoulder looks.

CLIPSO
GOOD SALON GUIDE 61
“I was already managing Clipso, St Albans when I was offered the opportunity to come on board as a franchisee,” Simon explains. “To me, it was a no-brainer. I saw it as a good way to get into business but also to have the support of an established brand around me.” Simon, who took over St Albans almost 27 years ago, explains that while there are brand guidelines to adhere to, it has always felt more like a partnership – a business concept that allows flexibility coupled with protection.
As we’ve seen from so many success stories within the hairdressing community, running a franchise salon is a route that can offer rich rewards. Simon Cox at Clipso, St Albans is someone who has no doubt that becoming part of the Clipso group has been the key to giving him a happy and rewarding career.

AUTUMN/WINTER 202266 AUTUMN/WINTER 202262
One area of focus that Simon is particularly known for is his passion for the team and his commitment to championing a new generation of talent. With such a dedication to nurturing creativity, it’s no wonder the team are flourishing, and the award nominations are adding up at an impressive pace. Dean Lawton-Taylor and Sophie Merrifield both finalised at the L’Oréal Colour Trophy last year with Dean picking up an additional plaudit at Colour World. Plus, the team are tipped for various awards at this year’s Salon Awards.
Simon himself is no stranger to awards as a former finalist at the British Hairdressing Awards, even scooping a top award at The British Hairdressing Business Awards for Best Use of Technology. His efforts now, though, are 100 percent focused on the team around him. “I see it as my duty to provide a platform for the team,” he explains. “Hairdressers are artistic, and you can help them organically grow a highly fulfilling career if you support them with creative opportunities.”
“It was my goal to make the St Albans salon a part of me,” Simon says. “I was determined to put my stamp on it.” Indeed, today, Simon is credited for coming up with ideas that are adopted by his fellow managers within the prolific, four-strong Hertfordshire salon group. “We have healthy communications between us,” Simon shares, “and while there is a distinct signature Clipso look, we all interpret it slightly differently as individual salons.”
In fact, Simon counts the accomplishments of the team as not just vital for their own progression but every bit as important to him. “When they do well, it spurs me on too.” He admits that the day-to-day side of salon life is always a priority, but he’s clearly willing to put in as much work again beyond the day job to achieve his team development goals.
“The salon is my home, and the team are my family,” says Simon. “I couldn’t run the business without such a great team around me. They support my vision and because of that, I’m able to nurture them and make sure we all keep moving forward.”
