Daniel is the owner of Daniel Granger Hairdressing, one of Northampton's premier salons. Given a cutting set of clippers, scissors and comb for a thirteenth birthday present, in order to save money on haircuts, Daniel soon became the school class expert on clipper art hair patterns, and was engaged at this tender age at a local salon. He owned his first Northampton salon, The Chair, at the age of 21, and has run his own successful salons since, creating an unique brand and fostering a huge number of clients, some of whom have followed him for ten years or more. Daniel's personality and passion for hair made him a natural contender for a place in national TV channel E4's series 'The Great British Hairdresser', a show in which he featured for eight weeks until he spectacularly walked out as he realised his real interest was running and managing his salon. It has not been all plain sailing for Daniel through his salon career, but he has learnt from the knocks, and plays a full part on the national hairdressing stage. He is a member of the UK design team for international product company Joico, which sees him travel the world, dealing with myriad salon proprietors and hairdressers. Daniel truly understands the mechanics of running a salon during a depressed economy, and the competing demands of training and motivating staff, budgets and targets.
