Neil opened Indigo’s doors in 2006 after 20 years of working as a self employed stylist. He wanted a place to grow a team of experienced stylists in a creative and relaxing environment for both staff and clients alike. After 12 years on Regent street, Boss man Neil opened Indigo’s new doors on the Parade in January 2018.

When Neil’s not in the salon you will often find him assisting top session stylists such as Eugene Souliman, Duffy, Martin Cullen, on fashion shows across the world. Once he’s home and back behind a chair at Indigo expect him to create the perfect look, men and women alike. He understands that a lot of women want to be feminine and glamorous without looking ‘over-done.’ Neil has an eye for detail paying attention on what style suits the individual, ensuring every client leaves with a style perfectly tailored to them. He also helps clients achieve their look at home with expert styling tips and practical advice.

After being a client of Neil’s for ten years, he finally talked Sam into working for him! Working as our fabulous front of house Manager since 2010, you will find Sam usually is the first face you see as you walk into Indigo. Ready with a smile, a warm welcome (and a bit of glamour) she kicks starts your Indigo experience. We really don’t know what we would do without her!
