For Grant Harper, hair is art and he approaches his craft with enthusiasm, focus and creativity, offering his patrons a special experience
A warm welcome is extended to you and Grant listens with a keen ear to your particular requirements. It is fascinating to observe him – head to one side and eyes scanning his canvas. After careful processing, he develops his ideas with you in a collaborative manner until – bingo – the goal is set. That is when the magic begins.
Throughout the treatment you feel involved, with Grant explaining each step with respect and humour. The coffee flows and, if you need a glass of wine, that’s available too! “I love being behind the chair,” Grant declares. “When someone trusts you with their hair, that’s a huge thing, and I don’t take it lightly.”
Stepping into his new salon at The Pearl’s Mall, you immediately feel at ease. From the friendly atmosphere to the contemporary yet warm décor and the sense of order, you know that you have chosen well.
Originally from England, Grant settled in Umhlanga more than a decade ago and happily embraced the sunnier lifestyle. His solid foundational skills and commitment to fresh techniques in colour and cut have earned Grant a sound reputation in the industry. He is a regular at the International Salon Trade Fair, where he is committed to ongoing professional development and networking, absorbing and participating in new and emerging global trends.
As Grant puts it: “I see my clients as characters and their hair is a vital part of what makes that character work. It is my job to take their vision and create something beautiful and real, which they are able to maintain. It’s about timeless style executed with cutting-edge technique and the experience to know what will get the best result for each individual.”
Grant’s signature finish is unmistakeable and has attracted a loyal following, with clients from near and far. If it is more than your hair that needs attention, client-centred makeovers are offered in conjunction with Fay and Megan Coleman of Image Insured – building self-esteem, inspiring confidence and transforming women’s lives.
Grant Harper is open seven days a week, 9am to 6pm, Monday to Saturday; 9am to 4pm, Sunday.
