Meet the Team at Dan Taylor Studios - Hair and Beauty Services

Company Director Hi, I’m Dan, and I split my time between the two sites. As the owner of the company, you can still find me on the shop floor providing professional hair services or in the studio delivering fitness classes. With over 20 years of experience in the beauty therapy industry, my passion remains as strong as on day one. I’m a qualified master colourist with Wella and Schwarzkopf and I’ve committed to continual education, both learning and teaching throughout my career. My journey has taken me to amazing places, including several inspiring visits to the Redken Exchange on 5th Ave in New York. Additionally, I've been a qualified fitness instructor for nearly 15 years, and nowadays, you can catch me leading classes in our Lincoln exercise studio.

Manager/Senior Stylist

Hey! I’m Dan M — your hair engineer ✂️ Versatile in my craft, I specialize in everything from seamless balayage and precision skin fades to bold, vivid color transformations. For me, it’s not just about great hair — it’s about how you feel when you leave the chair. I pride myself on creating a fun, welcoming environment where you feel listened to, relaxed, and completely taken care of. Beyond offering top-notch professional hair services, I believe in the holistic approach to beauty therapy, where your overall well-being matters. I’ve been back in the industry for the past 2 years after a short break, and during that time, I’ve continued to refine my skills through both in-salon experiences and professional training, including Wella color and cutting courses. You can trust that your hair is in safe hands — and I can’t wait to meet you. Also, stay tuned for my upcoming fitness classes designed to complement your beauty journey!

Fledgling StylistHello! I’m Jessica, a qualified Level 2 Hairdresser, soon to enhance my skills with Level 3 qualifications. I recently earned an award in hair and beauty through college after completing a 2-year apprenticeship, and I'm now approaching my first year working on the salon floor. I'm passionate about all facets of hairdressing, especially styling and colouring—from vibrant reds to soft, creamy vanilla blondes. I welcome everyone into my chair, as it's not just about the hair; it’s about delivering an overall experience akin to beauty therapy. I always strive to ensure my clients feel heard and at ease, making it a space where they can freely discuss their needs and ask questions. Each appointment is focused on you, whether you want to relax or enjoy some good conversation, much like the enjoyable atmosphere found in fitness classes. I’m dedicated to providing professional hair services that leave you feeling your best.

Fitness Instructor About me I’m Carla, and I’ve been teaching fitness classes since 2012. I have a passion for a wide variety of exercises, including dance, HIIT, Combat, and strength training. Recently, I also qualified as an Aqua Aerobics instructor. For me, fitness classes are about mental health as much as the physical side, and I focus on creating an inclusive, friendly, and accessible environment that encourages consistency. Some members have been with me since the beginning! Additionally, my involvement in beauty therapy and offering professional hair services reflects my holistic approach to well-being.

Fitness Instructor With over 20 years of experience in Les Mills BodyCombat, I’ve developed a deep passion for high-energy training, discipline, and helping others push beyond their limits. What started as a personal interest has grown into a genuine commitment to the programme and the powerful impact it can have on both physical fitness and mental resilience. Alongside my fitness classes, I also run my own limited security company—an industry where focus, leadership, and adaptability are essential. These same qualities carry over into my approach to training, where structure meets motivation to create an engaging and rewarding experience. I have a strong appetite for travel and enjoy exploring new places, cultures, and perspectives. I'm also driven by a constant desire to learn and grow, always looking to develop new skills and stay sharp—both professionally and personally. Whether you’re new to BodyCombat, looking for professional hair services, or aiming to take your training to the next level, my goal is to bring energy, experience, and authenticity to every session.
