When Tommy van der Veken and Esther Prins moved to Ruthin from their native Netherlands in 2002, their aim when they opened Tommy’s that year, was to provide the region of Denbighshire with an extremely personal hairdressing service delivered in true five star style. Staying true to their original aim it’s now not only Denbighshire that benefits from the high standards of hairdressing, service and style that Tommy’s provides. Word of their exceptional salon has rapidly spread and they now have many clients who travel from Chester, Manchester, Ireland, London and Liverpool to sample the Tommy’s Hair Company experience. In just over four years, Tommy’s grew to become one of the most sought after names in many address books, and their large and luxurious salon on Clwyd Street in Ruthin has been a phenomenal success, ensuring exceptionally high standards of hairdressing and service is delivered on a consistent basis by every member of their award winning team.
One of the key factors in Tommy’s growth and success has been their distinctive and recognizable brand image. Tommy’s have worked hard to create an image that is continually associated with quality, luxury, professionalism and a service that not only meets, but also exceeds their guest’s expectations. This consistent brand image has been delicately crafted as a result of a professional and highly effective campaign of promotion and marketing activities, which is viewed as integral to the growth and success of Tommy’s. Tommy’s are constantly at the heart of the community running model search competition Face of the Future and sponsoring local businesses and sports teams.
The successful growth of the business has seen Tommy’s expand to Chester where they have opened a boutique salon in the heart of the town centre, situated alongside the historic city wall. Expansion continues as Tommy’s are planning their third salon to open in Llandudno in late 2009.
Tommy’s have a dedicated team of assistants, stylists and technicians that are all personally trained by Tommy in the Tommy’s Academy. Tommy and Esther believe in providing a prosperous future for all the members of the team and Tommy’s Academy is the perfect platform for this. The Academy is also the perfect place for the younger generation to receive on trend hairstyles at a price range to suit their budgets.
As a multi award winning salon, Tommy’s continually strive to provide a high standard of unique service to all new and existing guests. Constantly breaking creative boundaries and developing new and exciting techniques in customer service and hairdressing techniques, the Tommy’s experience is one not to be missed.
