HEATHER CREATIVE DIRECTOR AT MELANIE RICHARDS HAIR AND BEAUTY SALON IN PETERBOROUGHHi, I’m Heather! Originally from Scotland, I recently moved to the area and joined the Melanie Richards Hair & Beauty team in Summer 2025 as a Creative Director — and I absolutely love it here.

One of the things I’m most passionate about is working in an eco-conscious salon that uses ethical, eco-friendly and vegan products. Being part of a business that truly cares about sustainability is something I’m incredibly proud of.

With over 38 years of experience in hairdressing, I bring a wealth of knowledge across cutting, colouring and barbering. I’m especially known for my bold, creative colour work — from wild rainbow transformations to big, dramatic changes. Vivid colour is my happy place, and I love creating looks that make clients feel confident and excited about their hair.

I’m full of banter, love meeting new people, and can’t wait to welcome new faces into the salon while creating beautiful, bespoke hair.

Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, baking and cooking, and visiting friends and family.
