Founder & Professional Hair Stylist — The Hair Hut

With over 40 years of experience in the hairdressing industry, Jo Hamlin brings a wealth of knowledge, creativity and international expertise to The Hair Hut.

Having trained in London with some of the industry's most prestigious names, including L'Oréal and Toni & Guy, Jo's career has taken her around the world. From living and working in Hong Kong to styling hair aboard luxury cruise ships, including the legendary QE2 and vessels within the Holland America Line fleet, her journey has been both diverse and rewarding.

Alongside her international career, Jo developed a passion for education and mentoring, becoming a Tutor and Assessor at a local college. She went on to lead a team of assessors and internal verifiers, supporting students through their NVQ Levels 1 to 3. This rewarding chapter allowed Jo to share her expertise, nurture emerging talent and help shape the next generation of hairdressing professionals.

Today, Jo is the proud owner of The Hair Hut, a charming boutique salon nestled in the beautiful village of Hutton, Somerset.

Offering a bespoke, one-to-one hairdressing experience, Jo has created a welcoming and tranquil space where clients can relax and enjoy professional hair care without the hustle and bustle of a traditional busy salon.

With a focus on individual attention, expert advice and personalised styling, every appointment is thoughtfully tailored to each client's hair, lifestyle and personal preferences.

For Jo, hairdressing has always been about more than simply creating beautiful hair. It's about building lasting relationships, helping clients feel confident and ensuring everyone who visits The Hair Hut enjoys a relaxed, friendly and truly personal experience.

Combining decades of experience with a genuine passion for her craft, Jo continues to offer the highest standard of personalised hairdressing in a setting where every client feels valued.
