Daniel Granger

Hairdressing was realistically Daniel's only career choice. As a child, he wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps and become an architect or a builder. The idea of creating something practical yet beautiful, quite literally from the ground up, appealed to me at a young age. The Christmas after his father passed, at the age of fourteen, Daniel was given a pair of clippers, with the intention of saving money by cutting hair from home. This gave him a purpose. After getting to grips with the basics it became clear he could create every day, he could sculpt and craft with the same artistic ideals, but the positive re-enforcement he received from family and friends after a cut was instant and addictive. Looking back, he would not have chosen to pursue anything else.

Daniel's philosophy from day one has been hard work, determination and always holding on to that dream in my mind.

As a global Educator and Schwarzkopf Ambassador, he aims to inspire and motivate fellow hairdressers of all levels, from those who haven’t even picked up a pair of scissors before to the seasoned, salon veteran, on the fundamentals of hairdressing – essential skills to advanced cutting techniques. There is an energy in the art of hairdressing which is so often forgotten – performance and delivery are paramount, and every session with him is often referred to as ‘an educational show’. The team at 

‘The Perfectionist‘ a Daniel Granger Academy is here to share our passion for education, and allow you into our world of the art of hairdressing.

You may have seen some of his TV work on ‘Great British Hairdresser’, or more recently ‘Body Fixers’. Hair can determine your identity, it visualises your personality, and it gives you confidence. But what if the hair was taken away from you? Many of my clients have problems with their hair. My aim is to work with them to restore their confidence and to understand their story and how we can create a beautiful look that is exactly what they have dreamt of – that gives them back their identity and opportunity to let their personality shine.
