Tracey Devine-Smith joins Glamour Hair Salon team

Successful UAE salon group Glamour Hair Salon has welcomed Devine-Smith to its prestigious team. Devine-Smith, who wowed the HJ Hair Stage audience at the Professional Beauty GCC exhibition in February, will be joining Glamour's Abu Dhabi salon as global creative director.

Devine-Smith has multiple awards to her name, including Scottish Hairdresser of the Year, which she has won three times, and British Men's Hairdresser of the Year.

Glamour was voted Best Hairdressing salon in Abu Dhabi by Time Out magazine and she will be working in the UAE for half the year, spending the remainder fulfilling her roles as global ambassador for Affinage, and guest artist for London salon Zoology.

"I have been watching Glamour Hair Salon evolve dramatically over recent years and have been hugely impressed by this business. This is an incredible opportunity to bring my many years of experience to the Middle East and I can't wait to get started," said Devine-Smith.

Her role will include representing Glamour at a global level, brand and creative support, and taking appointments at the chain's flagship salon where she will look after the VIP client base.

Jamila Paul, brand director at Glamour, said: "I absolutely adore Tracey Devine-Smith. She is genuinely the most inspiring, creative, passionate and extremely talented woman I have met in our fabulous industry. As brand director and current creative force behind the Glamour brand I am constantly searching for new 'creatives' to join our ever-growing brand and already extremely talented team in the UAE. I feel we could not of recruited anyone more talented."

The Glamour chain has two salons in Abu Dhabi and a further two about to open in Ras Al Kahaimah and Ajman.

Both Devine-Smith and Paul will star once again on the HJ hair stage at the Professional Beauty GCC exhibition in February 2017.
