THE Nicholas Graham hair salon on Bangor¹s High Street offers the ultimate experience in professional pampering from a stylist recognised as one of the best in the business.

Nominated for the Northern Ireland Hairdresser of the Year Award in 2004/05 and winner of the L¹Oreal Colour Trophy NI, it came as no surprise when Nicholas decided to set up his own salon in Bangor in April 2005.

The Nicholas Graham Salon has gone from strength to strength since then and in 2006 L¹Oreal selected Nicholas as one of their 'ID Artists¹ a huge honour that has taken him across the country styling hair at top catwalk shows and at L¹Oreal¹s own graduate fashion week.

Nicholas has a hugely talented team behind him at his Bangor salon in the form of senior stylists Camilla Crawford, Christine Gartland and Jaymie Elliott.

The modern Bangor premises have a laid-back atmosphere and Nicholas prides himself on offering the best and most professional service in town with free head and hand massages for all clients.

He also likes to work with the best products and the salon stocks a full range of products from the natural range, Aveda and from the L'oreal professional products range.

Nicholas also uses Aveda¹s Full Spectrum Hair Colour services for both permanent and semi-permanent hair colouring.

A recent addition to the salon¹s pampering services is the Aveda 'facial for your hair¹, a luxurious treatment that is exclusive to Northern Ireland.

This spa-like treatment promotes healthy hair and scalp with a thorough scalp massage using a custom blend of aromatic essential oils. Next, hair is nourished with a Damage Remedy treatment while you are treated to a stress relieving massage for tired hands.

Nicholas Graham salon is also one of only a handful of hairdressers in Northern Ireland to deliver a bespoke fitting service for clip-in designer hair extensions by Angel Products. They are made from the finest quality synthetic fibre and are available in various sizes from up to 21 inches in length.

The Nicholas Graham Hair Salon is open:

9am-5.30pm Tuesdays and Wednesdays;

9am-8pm Thursdays;

9am-9pm Fridays; and

9am-5.30pm Saturdays.
