A CELEBRITY hairdresser came to Warrington on Monday to share his skills with staff at Johnson's Hairdressing.

Star of BBC's Celebrity Scissorhands, Lee Stafford agreed to show his expertise and techniques at the Sankey Street salon due to the shop being one of hair stylists Redken's key national accounts.

Previously Men's British Hairdresser of the Year and Most Influential Hairdresser of the Year, Lee worked with owner Anton Johnson to teach the salon's stylists.

Third generation hairdresser Anton has a Johnson's salon in Stockton Heath too and recently launched Juniors@Johnson's to target youths.

He said: "Although Lee's career is diverse, it's his true dedication to constantly adapt and grow creatively which shines through.

"His day at the salon gave all of us, not least the younger members of staff, inspiration and added motivation to move forward in the hairdressing industry."

He said: "It's hugely important to me to be able to give my team the opportunity to learn from the best stylists in the business, which in turn keeps the salons fresh, exciting and at the cutting edge of the hairdressing industry."
