Here at Watkins Wright Hairdressing we provide top quality styling and cutting across our five branches in Thirsk, Knaresborough, Great Ayton, Boroughbridge and Kirkbymoorside. We are trained to consistently high standards of excellence in hairdressing and customer care across our 5 salons.
Renowned award winning hairdresser Jill Watkins Wright established Watkins Wright with her husband Paul in 1988. After 34 years in business, they have grown to a 5-salon group based in market towns through North Yorkshire.
Training & Education is a priority for the Watkins Wright Team. For the last three decades Jill & Paul have taken their teams skills to the next level by providing structured weekly training sessions, bringing in experts in their field covering everything from cuts to colours & much more. In 2019 their training was recognised by winning the Best Training Award at the Yorkshire Salon Awards.
We look forward to welcoming you into our salons to discover the talents of our teams for yourself. Our team can give you the latest hairstyle from short cuts & bangs to long party styles & up dos. We will also teach you how to achieve & maintain the look for yourself.
“At Watkins Wright we pride ourselves on fantastic customer service, quality cutting and colouring. We have a passionate, fun, well trained, friendly team and look forward to welcoming you to our salons.”
– Jill Watkins Wright
