Goji Hair

Greg James is at the creative helm of the salon overseeing a team of highly skilled stylists and natural hair colour specialists. Greg knew that hairdressing was his vocation from an early age and has been fortunate to have never needed to deviate from his path. He began his career at Vidal Sassoon in 1999 and quickly progressed through increasingly senior positions at several leading salons before becoming Creative Director of Aveda salon, Kamigata. Here he developed his understanding of the benefits of organic products. Greg is now delighted to be leading his own team at Goji and, as well as providing the full range of colour and cuts, he is also our Great Lengths and hair up specialist. He loves to be inventive so if you’re not sure what you want, just put yourself in his capable hands!

“Thanks so much to Greg and the team, excellent service from start to finish and I absolutely love my hair!” Lori

“Greg has to be one of the best hairdressers around. I have never been so committed to a hair salon until Greg opened his. They are super friendly and welcoming everytime. I have never left the salon unhappy. Very happy customer.” Amy

Kitty joined the team to help Greg and Vicky with the smooth running of the salon and to enable us to develop in new and exciting ways! Kitty is originally from Devon but has now made Cardiff her home and is loving her life in Pontcanna. She brings a wealth of management experience to the role, as well as her barbering skills.
