TONI&GUY has officially reopened at Lakeside Shopping Centre, now operating a newly designed 942 sq ft salon situated on the lower mall. The launch marks the brand’s return to the centre and reinforces its commitment to premium, fashion-oriented hairdressing across the UK.
The salon’s design incorporates distinct areas for cutting and colouring, digital trend displays, and features such as a dedicated hair spa and air-pressure massage chairs. The set-up aims to provide a high-quality client experience focused on self-expression and wellbeing.
The new location is operated by Tom Clarke, a longstanding TONI&GUY franchisee. Clarke began his career at the original Lakeside salon in 2002 and now returns with over 20 years of industry experience and a second successful salon to his name.
“Reopening in Lakeside feels like coming home. This is where it all started for me. TONI&GUY has shaped my career and my passion, and I’m excited to bring something truly special back to where my journey began,” Clarke said.
“Lakeside was the perfect location for our next-generation salon, as it aligns with our goal of building a space where people feel confident, inspired, and looked after. Clients can expect the award-winning service TONI&GUY is known for, delivered in a contemporary space designed to uplift and energise,” he added.
Services available at the salon include personalised cutting and colouring, luxury extensions, keratin smoothing, and hair therapy treatments. Each session is delivered with the brand’s emphasis on precision and technical expertise.
The opening of TONI&GUY adds to Lakeside’s existing beauty and wellbeing offering, joining brands such as Thérapie Clinic. The move aligns with the centre’s wider strategy to diversify its mix of retail, food and beverage, and lifestyle services.
Rob Jewell, Managing Director, Asset Management at Pradera Lateral, commented: “TONI&GUY is a globally recognised leader in premium hairdressing, and its arrival contributes to our strategy of welcoming aspirational brands across retail, leisure and wellbeing. As we continue to develop our brand mix, this new addition reflects our commitment to meeting changing customer expectations for destinations that offer more than just shopping. TONI&GUY will play an important role in giving our customers access to world-renowned brands – driving footfall and dwell time.”
The new salon officially opened on Friday 25th July.
