Playlist: Music To Cut Hair To with Sharon Andrews

A trip to About This Place hair studios is rarely just purely functional.. Hairdressers can often end up being confidante’s. It’s all about the setting too, so is there more annoying than bad music? it’s unacceptable. Bad music is only an interruption of what we believe the salon atmosphere should be. This why ‘Music to cut hair to’ was created.

Here at the ATP Studios, headed by the Hair Mistress aka Victoria Saunders has perfected that blend. She cuts the hair of half the DJs in London and many of the people in the background of this wonderful industry. The reason they keep coming back, aside from a damn fine cut, is the fact the music is spot on – hence being asked by R$N to compile a feature for them. 

Music To Cut Hair To, a selection of some great music played in the salon alongside some appearances from friends…

“This month I welcome my very good friend Sharon Andrews to Music to Cut Hair to fold. What an honour to have this lady onboard. Her knowledge of music has always been vast but in the last few years she decided to put her money where her mouth is and use her talent to start a career as a Music Publicist. Her agency is called Shine PR. Her clients inc Heist Recordings, Freerange Records, Delusions of Grandeur, Dam Swindle. How could I not ask this lady? This playlist is elegant, sexy, knowledgable and will make you dance guaranteed. Friend foremost of course but I am deeply humbled by this playlist. Lady Andrews I salute you”
