Why is Hector's Global Hair an award-winning salon?

4 min read

Quick answer

Hector's Global Hair with Zeal has been on Lower Richmond Road in Mortlake since February 2003, founded by Hector Obeng after twelve years at Millers in East Sheen. It is a multi-award-winning salon, recognised for specialist work across extensions, afro and textured hair, and men's cutting.

I keep seeing award-winning on your site. What are the awards actually for?
Fair question and one worth asking any salon that says it. Ours are for the craft rather than for marketing, and they sit across the areas we specialise in: extension work, afro and textured hair, and men's cutting. Every award we hold is listed on our awards page with the press coverage alongside it, so you can look rather than take our word for it.
How long have you been going?
Hector opened Hector's Global Hair with Zeal in February 2003 on Lower Richmond Road. Before that he spent twelve years at Millers in East Sheen. Hairdressing started as a hobby during his A levels and turned into the whole career. That is over two decades in the same building on the same road.
Does one salon with one location actually matter?
We think so. There are no branches and no franchise, which means the standard is not being managed remotely across sites. The person whose name is on the door is in the building. It also means when a client comes back after three years the team remembers their hair history rather than reading it off a card.
What do you think you are genuinely best at?
Extension work including corrective cases where a previous fitting caused damage, afro and mixed texture work including colour and bleaching on textured hair, protective styling, men's hair replacement units, and men's cutting from fades to modern mullets. We are honest about the rest: for a straightforward trim there is probably somewhere closer to you.
What do clients actually say?
The thing that comes up most is not the awards. It is the consultation, and specifically that we will say no. If your hair needs recovery time before new extensions, or a colour needs three sessions rather than one, you will hear that before you book rather than after. Read the testimonials and the press page and come in for a consultation. We are at 73 Lower Richmond Road Mortlake SW14.
