Meet Our Team

Suzanne (Senior Stylist)

Hey y’all Suzanne here, here’s a little bit about me………my journey began at the age of 15, I have worked my artistic flair and loved the hair industry even more since opening Viva in 2007. Our shop was previously located on the high street with a team of 12, after 16 years operating there I decided to move our salon to its current location. Our new private boutique has given me the opportunity to run a team which includes some of the best stylists in the industry.

Teaching has been a particular passion of mine and I previously enjoyed a spell teaching at a local college. I have taken great pride in passing my knowledge on to aspiring young people and I am especially proud when I see them succeeding within the industry.

I have taken part in competitions with some of the biggest names in the industry including Wella Professionals, L’Oréal and GHD. I am also very proud that my salon was nominated in the Scottish Business Awards for Best Salon in Lanarkshire.

Here’s to the next 17 years!

GO VIVA!!!


Aimee (Fully Qualified Stylist)

Hello everyone Aimee here, for the past 6 years I have been a dedicated member of team Viva and love my job. My journey began as a Saturday Assistant where I was taught all the basics of the day to day running of the salon, this has helped me to develop my future career in the hair industry. I am proud that I was able to make my dream a reality as I recently became a fully qualified stylist. One of my passions in life is making our clients individual hair imaginations a reality, resulting in them leaving our salon looking and feeling fabulous. Another of my passions is helping our younger team members develop their skills and knowledge to start their careers in this wonderful industry.

I am delighted to introduce Sarah Louise our youngest member of Team Viva, she has been working with us as a Saturday Assistant for the last few months. Sarah Louise has recently earned an award from her school for being a kind and caring person, this clearly shines through in her day to day interactions with our clients. The excitement is building as I pass the torch on to her. We are proud to call her part of team Viva.

Let the journey commence!



Emily (Hair Colourist)

Hey! I’m Emily, I have been working in the hairdressing industry for the last 6 years starting as an assistant whilst my training was ongoing and recently progressing to the salon floor. I am loving every moment of working at Viva and learning so many new skills. Everyday is different which makes my job fun and worthwhile. I specialise in colour and I love all aspects of colouring from root touch up to full head foiling including the ultimate balayage. So, if you want to be a blonde bombshell I’m your go to girl 👌🏻✨

Bring on the blondes!
