three generations of hairdressers, starting
with Robert Hely back in 1924, current
owners, siblings Gary and Sindy Hely, are
part of Glasgow Hairdressing royalty.
Open seven days a week Hely Hair Studio
is a hive of activity with twelve full and parttime
stylists working from the premises. Gary
is passionate about hairdressing and only
works with the best people and products in
the industry.

online booking service. Gary uses Paul
Mitchell in-salon products and Schwarzkopf

much better at looking after their hair

treatments.

Samantha came to Solo with fresh ideas

booked first.
With long serving and knowledgeable
assistants looking after valued clients
the future for Solo on Clarence Drive
looks rosy.
Newcomer Campbell’s of Hyndland

Crawford opened its doors back in August.
