Spotlight: Hooker & Young
Multiple British Hairdressing Awards winners with over 30 years in the industry — Hooker and Young on Clayton Road is Jesmond's most decorated salon.
When a salon has won North Eastern Hairdresser of the Year twelve times, you know you are in safe hands. Hooker & Young on Clayton Road is not just one of Jesmond's best salons — it is one of the most awarded in the country.
The Awards
Co-founders Gary Hooker and Michael Young sit in an elite group nominated for British Hairdresser of the Year. Their trophy cabinet includes British Colour Technician of the Year, Men's Hairdresser of the Year, and the Fellowship Awards Hairdresser of the Year. The Jesmond salon team has won North Eastern Hairdresser of the Year at the British Hairdressing Awards multiple times, most recently through stylist Jonathan.
The Experience
Despite the accolades, the atmosphere is not intimidating. The salon on Clayton Road is contemporary and stylish, but the team are warm and approachable. Services cover everything from precision cuts and colour to balayage, bridal styling, and luxury treatments. A beauty offering sits alongside the hairdressing, making it a one-stop destination.
Celebrating Over 30 Years
Hooker & Young celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021 — a milestone that speaks to consistency as much as excellence. The salon has evolved with trends while maintaining the technical standards that earned its reputation.
