ALAN SHORT


SALON DIRECTOR

IT WAS NEVER JUST ABOUT HAIR.

What drew me in was the culture. Creative people pushing each other forward. Ideas welcomed. Trust built through openness. A people-first environment where growth wasn’t forced, it was inspired. That belief shaped everything.

Hair became my medium, not my motive. Precision and visual instinct working together. Technical foundations meeting individuality. Living art with intention.

That philosophy is what built Bloc. — a collective of creators evolving together, guided not controlled.

Because when people thrive, the work speaks for itself.

Simone Chrichlow Art Director

SIMONE CHRICHLOW


ART DIRECTOR

My journey began in art, but I found my purpose in people.

For over 30 years, I’ve been drawn to the confidence that comes from feeling seen. Hair became my way of expressing that — especially Afro and textured hair, where strength and delicacy meet.

I listen, understand, and create styles that feel authentic. Education, growth, and community matter because empowerment starts with knowledge.

Above all, I want every client to leave feeling confident in who they already are.

Karlton Lee Creative Stylist

KARLTON LEE


CREATIVE STYLIST

Hair was part of my world from the beginning. Growing up around the salon, I saw early on that it was about more than the work — it was about energy, warmth and how people felt when they walked out the door. That stayed with me.

I believe every client deserves to feel valued and looked after. Attention to detail matters, but so does the experience. It’s the balance of creativity and care that builds trust.

I’m driven by growth — always learning, always refining — and by creating an environment where people leave feeling better than when they arrived.

So Ying Yu Senior Stylist

SO YING YU


SENIOR STYLIST

Creativity has always guided me.

I found my place in hair because it allows me to blend artistic vision with real connection. It’s not just about how it looks, but how it feels. The shift in confidence. The quiet transformation.

I see beauty in every texture, every tone. Colour, especially, has the power to change how someone sees themselves — and that moment of recognition is what drives me.

With every client, I aim to create something personal, something intentional. Because when someone feels confident, it shows long after they leave the chair.

JESSICA DAVIES-ROCHE
HAIR STYLIST

Hairdressing has always been a craft I’ve loved and taken pride in. I first trained alongside my uncle, who believed in me from the very beginning. That gave me confidence to keep learning and building over fifteen years of salon experience.

Working in busy salons has shaped my skills, creativity, and attention to detail. I believe in creating hair that not only looks beautiful but leaves my clients feeling confident and completely themselves.

Every clients is different and I love shaping a style that truly suits them.

FRONT OF HOUSE

I’m often the first face you see, and for me, that matters.I believe how you’re welcomed sets the tone for everything that follows. My role is to make each visit feel effortless, calm and considered from the moment you walk through the door.

I love connecting with people and creating an atmosphere where everyone feels comfortable and looked after. Behind the scenes, I keep things flowing so the team can focus fully on their craft.

Creativity inspires me too. Through photography, I capture the details and moments that might otherwise be missed, celebrating the work and the confidence it creates.

For me, it’s simple. If you leave feeling valued, relaxed and excited to return, I’ve done my job.

APPRENTICE HAIR STYLIST

I’ve always loved helping people feel confident, and for me, hair is such a powerful part of that.

After studying media hair and makeup, I realised I wanted to bring that creativity into everyday moments, not just the screen. Hairdressing allows me to blend artistry with real connection, finding styles that truly suit the person in front of me.

As a Level 3 apprentice at Bloc., I’m constantly learning. Being surrounded by such talented stylists pushes me to grow every day.

What matters most to me is simple. If someone leaves my chair feeling more confident than when they sat down, then I know I’m on the right path.
