My Stylist and Me: Charlie Miller exhibition at Ocean Terminal

THERE is a bond that exists between a client and their hairdresser that sometimes cannot be fulfilled by anyone else. There is a trust that covers many different things.

Charlie Miller, one of Edinburgh’s top hairdressing companies, has launched its ‘My Stylist & Me’ photo exhibition in the Image Collective Gallery on the second floor at the Ocean Terminal Shopping Centre.

The vision to explore the salons’ diversity in clientele and highlight the rock-solid bonds and personal relationships that have evolved, was celebrated at a drink’s reception in the gallery with some of the 26 participating stylists, their clients and other invited guests.

Jason Miller, joint managing director, said: “We are delighted to showcase some real-life client hairdressing and to collaborate with Ocean Terminal shopping centre on this exhibition.

“Working in the hair industry, you get to meet a lot of clients with their own styles, personalities, quirks and habits. As a hairdresser, it is our job to correctly interpret their needs and make sure we give them exactly what they are looking for. This exhibition is a reflection of our ways of seeing, being and doing and the end experience.”

The exhibition of 26 individual images runs throughout December 2018 and January 2019.

Edinburgh’s coastline communities have a proud heritage of distinct social and cultural traditions where a sense of community has endured. Time has not always been kind, industries have suffered and sensitive redevelopment is required. Yet, this seaboard is home to an internationally important flora and fauna which could soon harvest new benefits for those along the shore.

The Edinburgh Shoreline project has launched at a time of community desire for regeneration. It presents a real opportunity for tangible change. Steered by those who use the area for work and play – with backing from key agencies – it could become an enduring testament to the power of communities celebrating their past and protecting their future.

A new vibrancy can be felt in all kinds of activity around the beaches, harboursides and proms. Natural habitats can be at the heart of this Renaissance.
