Swanky Malone - Hair salon - in Merseyside

styling Lysia's bixie bangs ✂️ with a fringe this short a tiny bit of heat makes all the difference - you don't need a full blow dry, just a quick blast and a brush through. save this if you're growing bangs out 🤍

she found us on TikTok and found herself through the wolf cut 🐺✨ Emma trusted me with a proper big change and I love when someone walks in ready for it. the wolf cut is all about shape and movement - it grows out beautifully and styles in two minutes. nothing better than spinning the chair round and watching someone meet themselves again 🤍

4 years of not liking her hair… and today everything changed ✂️💛 AJ found me on Instagram and came in for a full transformation - but a proper consultation first, that bit matters. we talked through what she actually wanted, not just what's trending. four years is a long time to not feel like yourself in the mirror 🤍

asked Annie her favourite stylist right now 🤍 Tom Warr at Blue Tits in London - one of the best out there. always good to know who the team are watching ✨

Lauren's three must-have products 🤍 volumizing mousse by Moroccanoil for body, a good heat protectant (non-negotiable please), and a lightweight oil for the ends. you don't need a shelf full of stuff - three things used properly beat ten sat in the cupboard. ask us in the chair and we'll tell you exactly what your hair needs 💛

asked Laurence: red or blue? 🔴 strong red. then one player ever to play with… you'll have to watch for that one 😂 the chats in this chair are unmatched

a wolf cut for Holly 🐺 she always trusts me with the creative ones and I love her for it 🤍 when a client gives you that freedom you give them your best work back

did Ella's hair a few weeks back and somehow ended up at buyers club with the team after 🤍 this job isn't just cutting hair, it's the people you meet doing it ✨

"my swanky's story" 🤍 meet Lauren :) eight years into hairdressing and one of the most talented people I've worked next to. she trained here, then took her skills all the way to Australia for a bit - chasing the experience, learning how salons run on the other side of the world - before coming home to us in Liverpool. that's the thing about this trade: it can take you anywhere. a pair of scissors and a bit of graft and you can work in any city on the planet. Lauren came back with more confidence, new techniques and a proper eye for colour, and our clients are the ones who get the benefit. what I love most is she still treats every single appointment like it's her first - the consultation, the care, the little finishing touches. that's not something you can teach, you either have it or you don't. if you've ever thought about getting into hair, let this be your sign. it's hard work and long days on your feet, but there's nothing like handing someone the mirror and watching their whole face change 💛✂️

lydia found me on TikTok and waited months to get in 🤍 she wanted a shaggy vibe on very fine hair, which is all about clever layering to fake the thickness. worth the wait ✨

lauren found me on Instagram after years of never finding the right cut 🤍 sometimes it's not you, it's that nobody actually listened. we did - and look at her now ✨

thoughts? 👀 took her from a natural base 6 to a deep auburn copper AND gave her a bob with bangs ✂️ big day in the chair, even bigger glow up 🤍

we asked lauren: click your fingers, anywhere in the world - where do you go? 🌺 her answer had us all booking flights 😂

we asked laurence: one haircut for the rest of your career, what would it be? 🤔 zero hesitation on his answer 😂 a real one

oli's mullet start to finish ✂️🤘 the cut, the styling, the whole thing - soft at the front, sharp at the back. modern mullet done properly 🤍

effortless colour on curly hair 🤍 Ella wanted something that grows out beautifully without needing a re-do every month. low maintenance, high impact - my favourite brief ✨

"my swanky's story" 🤍 Annie joined us back in January after deciding, at 28, to finally do something creative with her life - and watching her bloom since has been one of my favourite things. she'd had a steady career before this, but something was missing, and she was brave enough to start again from scratch. that takes guts. day one she was nervous holding the scissors; now she's got her own little following of clients who ask for her by name. people think you've missed the boat if you don't start young - you really haven't. some of the best in this industry came to it late, with life experience that makes them better with people, calmer under pressure and genuinely interested in the person in the chair, not just the hair. Annie is proof. if you're sat there wondering whether it's too late to change direction, take this as your nudge. it's never too late to build something you're proud of. we're so glad she walked through our door 💛✂️

"is yours a woman?" 🫣 we were talking about ChatGPT, promise 😂 spent the whole afternoon winding the girls up. you'd come for the hair and stay for the chaos 🤍

another happy one out the chair 🤍✂️ swipe through - this is what we do all day and we still love it

pov: your client changes his mind between consultations and you're like 🫣 oli came in on a recommendation and kept us on our toes 😂 worth it though, look at him 🤍
