Ayr

It’s an unusual route into the business, but Riccardo first came to RRI as a client at the Royal Exchange Square salon (in his own words “back when I still had hair”). He fell in love with the craft of hairdressing and the RRI ethos, and set about training under our founder Alan. That was 25 years ago. He was the first RRI Assistant to become a Salon Director, and his commitment has never waned – you’ll still find him in the salon seven days a week. One of our most experienced hairdressers, Riccardo works on all types of hair. Cutting, styling, colouring – he makes a masterpiece of everything he does. When he’s not in the salon, he might be off styling at high-profile events like T in the Park, or off riding his beloved Ducati motorbike.

With 30 years experience 20 with RRI, Jackie is one of the company’s most award-winning stylists at the salon director level.  Jackie is a specialist with extensions trained at the highest level with Barclay wolf taped extensions and great lengths bonded extensions. Having been a great length hall of fame winner twice, Jackie also has her Schwarzkopf master colour degree and is an expert at keratin smoothing treatments. Having picked up total excellence and the fantastic hairdresser awards at the RRI congress, Jackie’s love for hair is backed up with her passion for art and painting which helps her create and tailor individual looks for her clients. She has continuously developed her expertise for cutting, colouring and extension work and has become an influential member of Rainbow Room International. We are delighted to have her as part of the team at Rainbow Room International Ayr.

Rachel believes the key to creating amazing hair lies in building a genuine bond with clients from day one. We couldn’t agree more. With that level of service, Rachel’s able to turn any hair idea into a reality – be it a hair-up, colour correction or edgy gent’s cut. A true ‘designer’, Rachel has a uniquely wild yet polished style of her own, which is reflected in everything she does.

Sarah Jane first started her career in RRI back in 1995. She trained and went on to qualify as a stylist in the Great Western Road salon. Quickly worked her way through all the promotion levels.

She has so many memories of her experiences, including travelling, taking part in photoshoots, fashion shows,  seminars, and much more. She honours it as a real privilege to do so.

Sarah Jane then took some time away to focus on family. It is with great delight and excitement to have her return to the RRI Ayr Salon in May of 2025. She is so ready for the next journey within the Company.

Izabela moved to Scotland in 2010 after completing hairdressing at college in Poland. Furthering her training in Scotland has brought her to work in the top salons in the country and here at RRI, Izabela has become exceptionally knowledgeable as a master colour expert.

Izabela will pull on all her experience and training to explore the best options when bringing your hair goals to life. She particularly enjoys working with curly hair and using freehand balayage techniques with clay bleach to achieve that ‘lived in’ surfer blonde look.

Whatever your style and taste may be, Izabela will make sure your hair is the most beautiful it can be.

Hairdressing is my passion and I've been in the industry for over 30 years. I always feel fulfilled with my contribution to my chosen field. I have a positive attitude and feel anything is possible when you put your mind, heart, and talent into all things. I am so excited to become part of the team here at Rainbow Room International and look forward to meeting you.

The most amazing thing about being a hairdresser is the ability to change a client's perception of themselves in an instant. With a cut to a colour, you can transform them into a different person - like magic!

Guido has been the face of our salon for ten years, and we’d be lost without him. He makes it his job to ensure every client’s experience more than lives up to their expectation, while at the same time keeping the salon running smoothly and looking perfect. 

Milly joined the team in 2011, and originally trained to become a stylist. Before long, she realised her real passion lay in building rapport with clients and helping to run the salon.  Milly gives every client a warm welcome, so come in and say hello – she’ll be more than happy to help.
