ABOUT US
I’m Niki Lutley, an experienced hairdresser and educator based in Manchester and Cheshire, with over 35 years in the hairdressing industry. My expertise includes precision haircuts, creative colouring, elegant styling, and professional hair extensions, with a reputation for creating personalised results that enhance every client’s confidence.
As a certified hairdressing teacher, I have trained and mentored aspiring stylists, passing on both fundamental skills and advanced techniques. I also specialise in the Keratin Hair Smoothing System, offering both professional services for clients and tailored education for hairdressers who want to expand their skills, build confidence, and grow their business.
Alongside my salon and training services, I am proud to be the official UK distributor of S Professional – an exclusive, salon-only vegan and cruelty-free haircare range. S Professional offers advanced treatments such as Hidratherapy, Nutrology, Pro-Fusion, My Crown, Brushing Plus and more. By combining expert training and distribution, I help salons and stylists access innovative, high-performance products not available on the high street or through wholesalers.
Previously the owner of Deva Hairdressing for 10 years, I bring extensive experience in salon management, client care, and business growth. Today, I combine hands-on services with education programs, workshops, and mentorship designed to help stylists master their craft, improve confidence, and achieve long-term success in the hairdressing industry.

Highly recommend Nikki. Gives great advice, takes time to understand what you want and I always walk out feeling fabulous 👌
Jax
Niki is a very talented hairdresser and is particularly good with my hair extensions and hair-up. She’s very friendly and knowledgeable and quite often gives me tips on how to do things myself. I am not a hairdresser but will definitely look forward to going to one of her teaching classes to find out how to better manage my own hair and style. Thanks Niki - you’re star.
