About the employer
For generations of delighted clients, the Collinge name has meant artistic perfection. A reputation we’re devoted to upholding for generations to come. But how do we measure that perfection? We measure it in how people feel. The perfect haircut and colour makes you feel great. The perfect salon experience lifts someone’s day. The perfect conditioner sparks a steady stream of compliments. The perfect training gives a sixteen-year-old a flying start. Hair is our passion. But people are why we’re here. And, like everything we do, we will always care about that. Collinge & Co is a fourth-generation family-owned hairdressing business. “Collinges” was opened by Molly & Wilfred Collinge in 1940 in West Derby, a suburb of Liverpool. Their son, Peter followed in their footsteps training to become a hairdresser in the 1940s, honing his skills on the transatlantic luxury-liner, the Mauretania, and going on to win hairdressing competitions throughout the 1950s. The first Peter Collinge salon opened in 1954, with more salons opening in Merseyside in the 1960s, plus the Peter Collinge Hair Study Centre to keep salon stylists up to date with trends and techniques. Andrew Collinge, Peter's son, started hairdressing in 1974, completing his training in London at Michaeljohn, and becoming their Artistic Director in 1980. After moving back to the North West, the first Andrew Collinge salon opened in Heswall, Wirral, in 1985. In the 1990s, Andrew twice won British Hairdresser of the year, launched a range of hair-care products, and along with his wife Liz was a fixture on “This Morning” carrying out transformational makeovers. This success and national recognition it brought, saw the company rebranded as Andrew Collinge in 1993. Throughout the years, many loyal and talented people have worked with the company, together, with our loyal clients, this has been the foundation of our longevity and family spirit. In 2023, to recognise this community within our salons and training centre, our name became Collinge & Co. Today there are four Collinge & Co Salons, a Graduates salon, a Training School and hair care range.
