Ben

Meet Ben Middleton — the cut above the rest.

From the moment his shears touched hair in 1993 with Toni & Guy, Ben’s trajectory was razor‑sharp:

Youngest franchisee ever (aged 21) when he launched his Greater London salon in 1998.
Over 20 years as Artistic Director, shaping trends and the next generation of stylists.
Global Educator & Stage Artist, sharing the craft from academy floors to international showcases.

Editorial chops in leading fashion magazines, plus grooming many of the fighters — and even the commentary team — you see under the bright lights of the UFC.
But credentials alone don’t make a legend. Ben’s obsession is unrivalled client experience: every consultation, every fade, every finishing detail is tailored with cutting‑edge techniques to the individual in his chair.

That relentless pursuit of excellence is exactly why he now headlines at Skins and Needles — the multi‑award‑winning brand that hires only the industry’s elite. Step inside and expect more than a haircut; expect craftsmanship, creativity, and customer care taken to championship level.
