About us
experienced, well-educated stylists
AT THE SNUG
We are passionate about following and incorporating the latest trends and techniques.
We are a collective of self employed hairdressers with a wealth of experience between us, working together as a team. We train yearly in London with some of the top people in the industry including Akin Konizi, 4 times winner of British Hairdresser of the Year.
We offer a non-conveyor belt experience in a relaxed atmosphere. We are committed to give each client a look they will love, tailor made to suit individual needs, taking everything into consideration such as face shape, hair type and lifestyle. We will advise you on styling, home care and products so you can recreate your new look at home.
Rebecca Drew (Bex)
Bex started her career in the hairdressing world over 20 year ago and now finds herself fulfilling another dream by opening her own salon.
Having spent many years working abroad in Australia and different regions of the UK, Bex decided Bristol was the city to settle in, to build a life and further her career. Colour has always inspired and intrigued her, so after achieving L’Oreal colour specialist certification in 2006 she realised that wasn’t enough for her! She has therefore gone on and achieved the highest possible Wella colour master accolade in September 2017.
The ethos surrounding Bex’ career has always been to create beautiful cuts and colours that work together in total synergy whether it be for the high street, photo shoots, competitions or magazine work. Recently Bex has been invited to share her knowledge and passion on the revolutionary products from Kerastraight to salons across the South West and loves being able to help and educate hairdressers and clients alike to benefit from this amazing range.
Bex always aspires to gain more and more knowledge by attending regular London based courses, with some of the top names of industry.

She comes with a wealth of all round knowledge including owning her own salon for over 10 years right in the heart of Bristol city centre but after that time really all she wanted to do is leave all that paperwork behind and concentrate on the buzz that she gets when working one to one with her clients and creating amazing hair.
A cool, calm and collected person with her finger most definitely on the pulse enables Jo to create ‘out of the ordinary’ but totally wearable hair for clients with little twists of excitement to make every style unique and personable. Jo puts her 20 years of experience into really listening to her clients needs and wants and together they create the most amazing results so every client leaves smiling, buzzing and feeling like they’re walking on air.
