Philip Sargeant
Philip started his hairdressing career at just fifteen with Salon Forbes Wardman in Uttoxeter. Quickly rising to salon manager, Philip became a popular name in the area. Outgrowing being an employee, he opened the doors of his first salon in 1979. He had to hit the ground running, working twelve hour days, six days a week, as the salon took off, soon establishing itself as part of the community in the village of Alton. Twenty years later the business had expanded beyond the capacity of the current premises and Philip, along with his wife Sharon, took the decision to purchase The Old Stables in 2000.
Alongside running his hugely successful business, Philip also sits on the advisory board of Leek College hairdressing training centre. This means that not only is his experience on offer for clients but for every young person going on to train in this industry. His ties with the college also mean that Philip is at the forefront of new ideas and techniques. His experience and the ability to offer contemporary styes alongside a traditional approach has meant that The Old Stables Hairdressing is a thriving a well renowned salon.
