Meet the Team
With a team of over 150 employees, we can't list all of our amazing colleagues but we would like you to meet our management team who are on hand to give you the best possible advice and care.
Chris Hinchliffe - Director
I started working with Lucinda Ellery in 1995. Lucinda (my mother) insisted that I learned all from the ground up and after a lot of training, I did just that! Lucinda instilled in me, what it means for women to be challenged with hair loss and how important it is to find a way to successfully manage this. As the interest in our services grew so did my role. Today my role spans research and development (I am constantly looking at how we can improve the Intralace System and have overseen several successful changes over the years including the creation of proprietary hair components, hair sourcing and natural aesthetic developments) I also work on project management within the company, expansion planning and still on occasion, consulting on the suitability of our services with clients. I am privileged to work with so many of our senior management team over many years and their outstanding humble dedication and professionalism is grounding.
Michelle Dabadie - Director
Having worked with my mother Lucinda Ellery for such a long time, I have always admired her inventive ideas and progressive thinking when it comes to all things hair and when we decided to open in the USA I moved to California for three years to facilitate our growth and expansion into the USA. I commuted between California and New York to create our new studio teams in Beverly Hills and Manhattan. I am now back living in the UK and my role has me wearing many hats but is mainly behind the scenes now. I always enjoy seeing how the incredible work we do transforms lives every day. Helping women regain their confidence is so rewarding and I am so grateful to be part of their transformative experience.
Dax Hinchliffe - Operations Director
I started working with Lucinda Ellery (my mother) in 1993 after leaving School, but in truth Lucinda had me working with her at the age of 11 years old, helping out here and there when on school holidays. I started full time at 16 year old as an Assistant Technician and then Senior Technician and worked up until I became studio Director at age 26. I find the work we do so rewarding in so many ways. I have been lucky enough to have so many wonderful staff and clients to have met on the way, with whom I have forged a very close bond. A few years ago I took a different roll as Operational Director overseeing all locations. This has not just been a job for me but my life, and I am very grateful to my mother, even under duress at the time, for getting me involved in such a extraordinary career path.
Chantelle - Senior London Studio Manager
I have worked at Lucinda Ellery for just over 11 years, My fave part about my job is the fact it never feels like a job, creating beautiful new designs for clients and helping them through their hair journey is such an amazing feeling. Being a part of such a major life changing moment is one of the most rewarding parts of my job and seeing our lovely ladies return with their confidence restored is heart warming. I have grown with so many of our ladies and staff and I hope to continue to do so in many years to come.
Ewa – London Studio Manager
I joined the Lucinda Ellery team in 2006, and it feels like yesterday despite so many years passing by. Over the years, I have worked in various roles, and with the support and patience of the management, I became a studio manager. Each role has given me valuable experience and allowed me to understand the great privilege of meeting so many beautiful people. The best part of my job is meeting clients and being part of their journey. There's nothing quite like seeing a big smile on a client's face and knowing I've played a part in making them happy.
As I have spent most of my adult life with the company, I have grown with it, just as my family has. Since becoming a mother of two beautiful children, I am working part-time for a few years now. I remain grateful for the opportunity to work for such a fantastic team of people!
Tom - Manchester Studio Manager
Hi there, I'm Thomas working as Studio Manager in our Manchester studio. I joined Lucinda Ellery in 2010, way back when I started working as human hair extensions technician and then progressed to learn all aspects of the Intralace System. Anyone who knows me will know I love to laugh and have fun with all our amazing team and clients. It's a real family atmosphere here at the Manchester studio and we all thrive of making our clients feel amazing!
Simone - London Studio Manager
My Journey started at LE in 2007 after working in an established salon for 7 years as an accomplished hairstylist & extension technician, I felt the need to move on in my career. Joining LE offered me a different outlook and skills in terms of what I could offer and personal growth also.
One of my favourite and most recent memories, is being promoted to assistant manager. This took place in our London client lounge, with most of the London LE team present. The experience was a complete surprise to me I was filled with gratitude and a little overwhelmed at the same time. My desire in this role is to continue to offer the best support to my ability to the entire team at LE and clients alike.
Nicole - Los Angeles Studio Manager
I'm a Connecticut native, and have been with the Lucinda Ellery family Since 2013. I'm a warm personality with an attention to detail and think this is a perfect combination to manage our Los Angeles location. I specialize, in hair color, hair extension, and the Intralace system. I enjoy managing the staff as well as still looking after our clients myself.
Outside of work, my hobbies include spending time in West Hollywood neighbourhood, and spending time in the Sunny Cal weather. I love making frequent visits to our Manhattan NYC location where I can spread my love and knowledge of women's hair enhancement to both coasts. I believes that life is an adventure and I am lucky to be part of such a wonderful community of women.
Marina - Los Angeles U.S Studio Manager
I have been a licensed cosmetologist for over a decade and came to work at Lucinda Ellery because I felt drawn to the nature of Lucinda’s mission of helping women feel confident and beautiful. I have been working at the Beverly Hills studio for 7 years. My speciality at our studio is creating new Intralace Systems and love it when clients rave about my razor cuts! In my downtime, I am driven by music and art in all mediums, including photography, and enjoy always finding new ways to stay creative.
Darren - Edinburgh Studio Manager
joined LE June 2016 ... LE has given me the opportunity to rise within the company from being a lead technician to Assistant Manager and then Studio Manager within the 2 yrs ... I love working with LE as I get the chance of travelling to other studios and meeting clients from all over U.K. .. which I thoroughly enjoy as I'm a people's person .. I find my role very rewarding and, occasionally emotional, (sadness or overjoy) but that's the caring side of me. My hobbies/interests are Swimming, Running and the gym. I also enjoy shopping and travelling. I love interior design and painting and decorating.
Danielle - Edinburgh Studio Manager
I have been working for Lucinda for the past 5 years and I absolutely love working with the women who come in here and getting to know them so I can closely help them each individually with their hair loss. I have been a hairstylist for 15 years and can wholeheartedly say this has been the most amazing journey at Lucinda's that I wouldn't see myself doing anything else. Every day I am surrounded by people's different stories and experiences that help make working here feel amazing that each day is different and exciting. With my hair knowledge I have so much to offer the clients and enjoy every client in my seat helping them to feel confident and beautiful in my own little way! I look forward to the ladies coming back to tell me how they are getting on and giving them the skills they need to approach their life with hair-loss confidently!
Paulo - Southampton Manager
I joined Lucinda Ellery in 2019 and straight away fell in love with the job and what we do for others. Being a hairdresser since I was 16 years old I always had a passion for hair and customer service. Since I started work for Lucinda Ellery I combine my passion with the joy to help someone to fulfilling their dream. There's never a dull day working in here and my favourite is when we have a new client, and after the system is fitted they get to see their friends and family waiting for them in the reception area - their reactions are worth everything. That moment always gets me; I Love Lucinda for that.
Sylwia - Southampton Studio Manager
I started my journey with Lucinda Ellery in 2014 as an assistant at the London salon. With the amazing support of the managers and senior members of the team I have progressed to work my way up within the company. I have always loved the friendly environment and the spiritual atmosphere that Lucinda has created, and being a part of the beautiful transformations of our lovely clients has given me such love and passion for what we do.
I was given the incredible opportunity to become the studio manager of our Solihull location. I was and am so very grateful, I felt so lucky to share all my knowledge with my lovely team.
I'm now continuing the adventure by moving to our Southampton studio. As with Solihull we'll work together to bring the best possible service to our lovely clients.
Amanda - London Stylist Manager
I have been working at Lucinda Ellery since 2014 and I am based at the London Studio. Starting as a stylist, I quickly recognised how much I could expand my hairdressing knowledge by working with extensions and our various Intralace System options. It is so interesting to see how we can create a natural looking head of hair by using our extremely creative systems. Learning more about hair loss and the effects it can have, especially for a woman, interested me more, knowing that what we do here at Lucinda Ellery is very much a life changing experience. I feel more compassionate about what I do as a stylist, helping women get over their fears of how they feel about themselves and how others see them. I became assistant manager late 2016, and then stylist manager mid 2017. Through this role I am helping build up our ever growing London styling team that is full of fun and compassion. I will always do my very best to keep our styling modern and fresh and ensure that each and every client leaves looking and feeling like a million dollars.
Kerry - HR Manager
I joined Lucinda Ellery in 2018 I was amazed at the project in front of me and how this would excite me. The staff, clients and the team I work with are all fantastic. I've had in-depth experience of employee relations and managed to use them wisely. Lucinda Ellery really is a inspiring place to work where I feel I have made true friends and I have gained a broad range of knowledge.
Maria - London Assistant Studio Manager
I started my journey with Lucinda Ellery 8 years ago as an Assistant at the London HQ studio and I absolutely love it. With the amazing support of the Managers and senior members of the team I have progressed to becoming Assistant Manager. I consider myself lucky to do something that I love and to be able to make a difference to the lovely ladies lives with what we offer here at Lucinda Ellery.
Julie - Operations Manager
I have recently joined Lucinda Ellery as Operations Manager in head office Hammersmith, London. I accepted the position as I felt the passion for the business from the moment I had my first chat with the directors and the team. My previous roles over the last 25 years have always been with high profile branded companies in various management / customer service roles all over the world. I love the family feel at Lucinda Ellery and the commitment from the staff in helping women, which is very rewarding. I am looking forward to my journey with Lucinda Ellery and being part of its continued growth and success.
