Denise, Director

The Men's Emporium opened its door back in 2006 solely by Denise and her vision to bring male grooming into her home city of Aberdeen. Starting off in the industry as a Ladies Hairdresser in the 80s, she began her journey at the age of 14 as a Saturday girl at her local hairdresser. Having more of an interest in the male hairdressing side when she was working at a unisex salon, Denise always knew her passion for being a stylist would drive her towards the world of barbering. Now, at 58 years young, Denise has over 40 years experience and has learnt everything there is to know within the industry.

When instore, Denise prides herself in welcoming new and old faces into her salon and her natural ability has always been to make sure that her clients are feeling good about themselves within their head as well as on top of it. A famous quote that naturally echoes throughout the shop week in week out is, "I'll promise that I'll make you look and feel better than you already were before you came in", this is a stance Denise lives by as she cares about every individuals headspace as mental well-being is something that she has always advocated for.

Denise was the firestarter to the industry within Aberdeen which has lit up over the last decade, that being the modern Barbering scene of today. With previous experiences in the Diet & Fitness industry, her counsilling nature along with her array of Male Grooming and Beauty services can ensure any person will feel happy and confident going to any specific occasion.
