Charlie Miller on show in city gallery<br />
EDINBURGH’S CHARLIE MILLER salon chain has<br />
unveiled a photography exhibition called ‘My Stylist<br />
& Me’ in the city’s Image Collective Gallery. The show<br />
explores the salons’ client diversity and celebrates<br />
the relationships that have evolved. “Working in the<br />
hair industry you meet clients with their own styles,<br />
personalities, quirks and habits,” said director Jason<br />
Miller. “It’s our job to interpret their needs. This<br />
exhibition is a reflection of our ways of seeing, being<br />
and doing – and the end-experience.”<br />

A<strong>HEAD</strong><br />
What <strong>January</strong><br />
has in store for...<br />
ELLIE SMITH<br />
SMITH ENGLAND<br />
I’m spending time with a<br />
social media company to<br />
create content that’s more<br />
engaging. The content creator<br />
and videographer is visiting<br />
the salon and spending time<br />
showing me the different<br />
ways to capture images. It<br />
makes me consider what the<br />
client wants to<br />
see and now I<br />
can implement<br />
the best way<br />
to capture and<br />
communicate it.<br />

HAIRDRESSING<br />
We’ve started an ‘In It<br />
Together’ campaign to create<br />
mental health awareness in<br />
the salon – from the team’s<br />
and clients’ viewpoints.<br />
<strong>January</strong> can be hard for<br />
those suffering mental health<br />
issues so we’re<br />
working with<br />
a life coach to<br />
help us cope<br />
and to spot<br />
when a client<br />
is struggling.<br />
