International Women's Day saw Headmasters spotlight co-founder Christine Sanders, whose vision grew the business from a single 1982 Kingston salon into a major London and South East group. Sanders believed hairdressing offered a respected, lifelong career, not merely a job. Her aim was to blend technical skill with superior client care.
This philosophy translated into an environment where clients felt valued and confident. Current leaders like COO Laura Geary and Creative Ambassador Clare Hansford began their careers as Sanders' apprentices. Geary noted Sanders' ability to foster ambition and create opportunities, a mission continued through the 'Christine Sanders Future Star Award'.
Sanders' commitment to education remains central to Headmasters, evidenced by its London Academy, which trains stylists at all career stages. The business highlights her legacy as one of empowering women to achieve leadership roles. Her approach is presented as a model for fostering the next generation of female leaders within the industry.
