The Mrs Clarke Brand articulates the ethos of a salon that places a deep emphasis on individuality, personal well-being, and the intrinsic value of natural beauty.
The philosophy behind our salon goes beyond the conventional hairdressing experience, touching on the essence of personal transformation and the intimate journey of becoming one’s best self.
Enjoy the journey.
Love Mrs Clarke

Meet GarrethGarreth’s passion for hairdressing goes beyond the salon chair—he’s a dedicated educator, mentor, and industry leader. As a member of the KMS Global Style Council since 2016, he has shared his expertise on both national and international stages, leading education for stylists and directing runway shows at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.
With over 23 years in the industry, Garreth has immersed himself in both learning and teaching, believing that education is the key to growth. His approach is dynamic, honest, and always evolving, making his classes sought after by stylists looking to elevate their craft.
"For me, teaching is a privilege. Helping others develop their skills and watching their talent grow is what drives me. Whether I’m in a boutique salon or speaking to a packed seminar room, my goal is the same—to leave people inspired, with something new to take into their day."
Garreth’s salon education style is deeply personal. He works closely with teams to understand their unique strengths and challenges, creating tailored lesson plans that make a lasting impact. His philosophy is simple: growth happens when we share what we know.
"The best way to evolve as a stylist is to teach. When we pass on knowledge, we strengthen not only our own skills but the entire industry."
Bringing global experience and a personalised approach, Garreth continues to inspire stylists at Mrs Clarke and I, ensuring that education is always at the heart of great hairdressing.
