Eye Candy, the brainchild of co-founders, Adrian Wood and Jason Charity, is a new concept in hair salons. The brand has been conceived out of a passion for excellence and a desire to encourage clients, stylists and the industry as a whole to demand more from the salon experience.

"We know what the old salon clichés are, and so do the general public. So we've created a luxury brand, which remains refreshingly down-to-earth. We place great emphasis on providing an oasis of calm in ones busy day; clients are welcome to arrive early and relax in the lounge with a drink before their appointment begins. We allocate a full hour where other salons allocate 45 minutes, so there's enough time to talk and to listen. Most importantly, every hairstyle reflects the client and their lifestyle, not the latest fads."

In 2006 and less than twelve months since launching, Eye Candy was awarded the prestigious national accolade ‘Best British Newcomer’ at the British Hairdressing Business Awards, and since then the young creative’s have continued to be awarded national recognition for their contribution to hairdressing.

In 2010 the salon was delighted to appoint Jen Sokolovs as it’s artistic director. As one of the UK’s rising stars and a stylist with Eye Candy from the beginning, Jen has styled at London Fashion Week and collaborated with fashion designers across Europe. In 2009/10, Jen joined the elite Sebastian CULT team where he worked alongside industry icons and celebrity stylists Sean Dawson, Shay Dempsey and Dom Capel. In 2011, Jen was appointed a national educator for KEVIN.MURPHY products in the UK, alongside his creative role with Eye Candy.

In 2011 Eye Candy welcomed Stacey Dexter to the growing team as salon manager. Originally from Derby, Stacey moved to London for a number of years, leading a large salon in Soho before returning to her roots. With extensive experience on the salon floor and finely tuned salon management experience, Stacey is responsible for the day to day business, growing the Eye Candy team and ensuring we deliver an outstanding client experience.

Tragically, Adrian, 34, died suddenly of a brain hemorrhage on 9 December 2005 only six months after the launch of Eye Candy but the salon continues his dream and vision.
