LEEDS, February 23/PRNewswire/ -- Hairstylist to the stars, Nicky Clarke is preparing to bring his unique brand of luxury hairdressing to Leeds' fashionable Victoria Quarter.

Situated over three-floors, the salon will offer bespoke hairdressing and colour services with unparalleled customer care. Designed by Tim Ryan, who designed the homes of Nicky and Lesley Clarke, the salon interior perfectly combines modern, cutting-edge design with classic styling and achieves the aim of creating a homely feel with an exclusive retail boutique. With contemporary deco detailing and customised fixtures, fittings and furniture, the salon is as highly personalised and unique as Nicky's cutting style and provides a unique insight into his celebrity lifestyle and sense of personal taste.

For the personal stylist to movie stars, TV personalities, pop idols and royalty, and Official Stylist to the BAFTAs, the opening of the salon next month represents the third stage of a carefully orchestrated expansion plan to bring the cachet of his exclusive Mayfair salon to the UK's most cosmopolitan and vibrant city-locations.

As Nicky Clarke explains; "Leeds is a wonderfully diverse and cosmopolitan city, so it was a natural choice for us and the Victoria Quarter is a natural home for our salon. The eclectic mix of fashion, beauty and lifestyle, stunning architecture and internationally-known brands makes it a unique shopping destination and experience. This fits perfectly with our brand and reflects what Nicky Clarke Salons is all about so I'm really excited about it!"

Described as 'The Knightsbridge of the North', the Victoria Quarter is a fashion and lifestyle destination of the highest calibre. With brands including Harvey Nichols, Gieves and Hawkes, Agent Provocateur and Vivienne Westwood among its residents, Nicky expects the salon to be well received by the city.

Group Salon Director Simon Smith said; "Finding a location that reflects the exclusivity and stature of the Nicky Clarke brand is essential. We have achieved this successfully in Birmingham and Manchester and the Victoria Quarter ticks all the right boxes for us. As the designer label for hairdressing, Nicky Clarke Salons perfectly complements its designer-brand neighbours."

Building on the prestige of Nicky's exclusive London salon, described by Vogue as "London's finest", the company is confident it will add "Leeds's finest" to its list of accolades very soon!
