The salon has been a proud part of the community for over 50 years. It was established as Yvonne’s and was rebranded as Uppercutz in 2000. The salon was passed from mother to daughter when Mandy Hack took over from her mum, continuing the family legacy of passion and dedication to hairdressing.

In 2009, Mandy relocated the salon to its new home in The Kings Market—a fresh chapter for Uppercutz. I joined the team soon after, working closely with Mandy and her team. When Mandy and her husband Shaun decided to take a well-earned step back and move to France, My husband and I were thrilled to take on the next chapter.

We were committed to keeping the welcoming spirit of Uppercutz alive, while gradually introducing new ideas and energy. Fast forward ten years—it’s been a whirlwind, filled with challenges (yes, even a pandemic!), lessons, and a whole lot of love for what we do.

Running the salon has been a privilege. The journey hasn’t always been easy, but it’s been incredibly rewarding. We’re so grateful for the people we’ve met, the trust of our wonderful clients, and the community that continues to support us.

Here’s to many more years of creating, connecting, and making people feel amazing.
