About Red Hair

THE RED HAIR STORY

Red Hair has been part of the Lincoln hairdressing scene for 25 years.

 

The salon was originally founded by Michelle and Louise after they found themselves needing a new place to work almost overnight, and it quickly grew into something much bigger.

 

Today, Michelle leads Red Hair with the same ethos it was built on from the very beginning, exceptional hair, genuine relationships, and a salon environment where clients feel completely at ease. Many of the people who visit today have been coming for years, often bringing friends, family, and even the next generation through the doors. Because at Red Hair, it’s never just been about hair. It’s about trust, community, and creating a place people love to return to. And at the heart of the salon is one simple belief...

Great hair begins
with understanding
EXPLORE OUR SERVICES

Every appointment starts with listening, understanding our client’s hair, lifestyle and how they want their hair to feel day-to-day. From there, our team combine experience, thoughtful consultation and professional skill to create hair that feels natural, effortless and completely individual.

Hair trends come and go, but the foundations of great hair remain the same.

At Red Hair, the focus has always been on creating hair that...

looks beautiful, feels
healthy and works in
real life.

Alongside our salon treatments, we also share expert advice through our journal, covering topics such as scalp health, colour care, hair thinning, product recommendations and everyday tips to help you keep your hair looking and feeling its best between appointments.

 

Because when the foundation is healthy, beautiful hair follows naturally.

Michelle

STYLE DIRECTOR

Michelle Hawley the owner of Red Hair Lincoln

I began my hairdressing journey nearly 40 years ago as a Saturday girl in Manchester, and I still love the craft as much today as I did then!

As co-founder of Red Hair and now Style Director, I’m incredibly proud of the salon we’ve built over the past 25 years. As a Wella Colour Expert, I enjoy working across all aspects of hairdressing, from precision cutting to colour, and particularly love creating beautiful results for short, long and naturally curly hair.

For me, great hairdressing has always been about more than technique. It’s about taking the time to understand each client and creating hair that feels effortless, natural and completely individual.

Outside the salon, I enjoy spending time with family and friends, and my coffee order is always a cappuccino.

Tammy

STYLE DIRECTOR & MANAGERESS

Professional haircare by Red Hair Lincoln

I’ve been in the hairdressing industry for over 30 years and feel incredibly passionate about the craft and the clients I work with. Alongside my role as Manageress, I love spending time behind the chair creating styles that help people feel confident and comfortable.
I specialise in short cuts and classic colouring, focusing on looks that are flattering, timeless and easy to wear. I take real pride in the whole client experience, from the initial consultation right through to the final finish, making sure every client feels listened to, valued and completely looked after.
Outside of the salon, I enjoy travelling and discovering new places, as well as keeping active through fitness, things that help keep me energised and inspired in both work and life.

Becky

STYLE DIRECTOR

Hair consultation with stylist at Red Hair Lincoln

I’ve been in the hairdressing industry for 18 years and am often known in the salon as a great all-rounder!
What matters most to me is making sure you feel listened to and that we achieve the result you’re hoping for while you’re in my chair. I love helping clients feel confident with their hair and making sure they leave the salon feeling their absolute best.
In 2024 I completed my Wella Master Colour Expert qualification. It was hard work, especially going back into a classroom environment, but I was incredibly proud to graduate and see all that effort pay off.
And if you ever spot me with a coffee in hand, it’ll most likely be a decaf caramel cappuccino!

Alessia

STYLE DIRECTOR

Professional stylists working at Red Hair hair salon Lincoln

I’ve spent the past 16 years training and working at Red Hair, refining my craft and developing a real passion for precision cutting and beautiful colour.
I specialise in short hair and seamless highlights, creating tailored looks that enhance natural features and help my clients feel confident and cared for when they leave the chair. For me, hairdressing is about more than the service, it’s about the experience and how you feel when you walk out of the salon.
I’m also proud to have completed the Wella Colour Expert qualification, one of the most advanced colour courses in the industry, which helped elevate my technical and creative knowledge even further.
In the salon I’m usually known for my loud laugh and curly hair, and I love helping create a warm, uplifting atmosphere for both clients and the team. Outside of work, you’ll often find me travelling somewhere sunny or spending time with family and friends, usually with a nice drink in hand!

I particularly enjoy creating beautiful short hairstyles, from sharp crops to soft, textured bobs, tailoring each look to suit the individual. I’m also proud to play a role in training and mentoring our apprentice team, helping them build their skills and confidence as they grow within the salon.
I’m always keen to keep developing my knowledge too, and recently completed a two-day colour course with Wella Professionals.

I particularly enjoy creating beautiful blondes and brondes, whether that’s a soft lived-in blonde or a brighter Ultimate Blonding transformation. I love catching up with my regular clients just as much as welcoming new faces into my chair.
Helping people feel confident and happy with their hair is the part of the job I enjoy most, and I honestly couldn’t imagine doing anything else.
