LIFE F O GUY Hailing from France, Guy Kremer has become one of the most notable names in the UK hair scene. With a career steeped in glamour and luxury, his story is one of rich rewards and notable successes. Guy Kremer is a name that has become synonymous with opulence and grandeur. His brand of hairdressing is elegant and glamorous, his long-established Winchester salon smart and exclusive. He makes no apologies for loving life’s luxuries. Whether that’s art or lavish food or fancy cars, Guy Kremer is a man who was always destined to live the high life. Despite that, Guy’s early years in the small French town of Talange on the borders of Germany and Luxembourg, were not quite so sophisticated. Perhaps one of the only tastes of the well-to-do lifestyle that awaited was a regular trip to the hair salon with his mother. As was customary at the time, she would travel every week without fail to have her hair doused in lotion and set in its perfectly coiffed style. “I fell in love with hair way back then,” Guy recalls, “As a young boy I can remember sweeping up hair and playing with the shampoo bottles. I really enjoyed being in the hair salon.”
“I’M TOTALLY INVOLVED IN EVERY ASPECT OF THE SALON AND CONTINUALLY INVEST TO KEEP STANDARDS HIGH”

Guy showed promise at art in school, but creative pursuits aside, he couldn’t wait to leave. Instead, he decided to follow his hairdressing dreams and took an apprenticeship at the age of 14. Just a few years later, when he was 18 years old, Guy’s father sadly died. Worried that his modest hairdressing income wasn’t enough to support a prosperous future, his mother encouraged Guy to train in accountancy. He lasted three years, but the hairdressing bug had bitten and Guy couldn’t shake the attraction back to the craft that had first captivated him.
