Teresa Weller
Meet Teresa Weller, a passionate Hair Artist with an impressive 35 years in the industry, including 12 as a dedicated salon owner. Hair is her second language, and her recent nomination as a finalist for Southern Hairdresser of the Year at the prestigious British Hairdressing Awards is a testament to her talent and commitment. The final will take place at The Grosvenor House on November 25th—a dream realised after years of hard work.
Specialising in bridal hair, Teresa has built a loyal clientele who travel great distances for her expertise, including a growing number of gents. A true craftsman, she brings a keen eye for dynamic shapes and bespoke cutting techniques, ensuring each restyle is unique. Her flair for colour shines through in her exquisite highlights and balayage work, executed using various techniques that range from colour corrections to complete transformations. Revlon Professional is Teresa’s colour house of choice, although she also draws on her experience with brands like Milkshake, L’Oréal, and Wella, believing that a skilled colourist can master any brand with the right support. With Teresa, clients always feel they’re in safe hands.
Beyond her technical wizardry, Teresa has a genuine love for people. To her, everyone is a celebrity, and she possesses a rare gift for making each client feel like the only person in the room. She dedicates her time to ensuring that every individual leaves looking and feeling their absolute best.
Her journey began at Alan International, where she discovered her passion for the industry and realised her ultimate dream was to own a salon. In her early 20s, Teresa embraced her adventurous spirit by joining Steiner, working on cruise ships and traveling through the Caribbean and America. It was during this time that she had the incredible opportunity to train with Ian Carmichael, personal hairdresser to the Queen. Under his guidance, she honed her skills in formal styling, which laid the foundation for her unique artistry in hair, particularly in bridal updos.
This talent has led Teresa on an extraordinary journey, from stage work and theatre to prestigious events like London and Milan Fashion Weeks. For five years, she served as the lead stylist for Pride in London, working backstage with main acts and coordinating teams of hairdressers across multiple stages. This incredible journey has allowed Teresa to work with numerous celebrities, and she’s often called upon to create stunning event hairstyles for singers, actresses, TV presenters, and personalities. Notably, she joined X Factor singer Rebecca Ferguson on a European tour, creating beautiful updos for her concerts each night—an experience that not only showcased her talent but also satisfied her wanderlust.
Teresa also has a huge passion for photoshoots. In recent years, she has collaborated with renowned industry photographers to produce captivating hair images for her brand, building a portfolio that has graced the pages and covers of prominent industry magazines such as Professional Hair Magazine, Salon Business, HAIR Magazine, Estetica, Salon Evo, Good Salon Guide, Le Journal, and Your Surrey Wedding. Teresa thrives on the excitement of capturing her work on camera, constantly evolving her craft.
In 2018, Teresa opened her Dorking salon, Teresa Weller HairArt, which has attracted a highly skilled and growing team of stylists. As a true team player, she embraces her role as a mentor, sharing her extensive knowledge and expertise to help her team achieve their personal career dreams and thrive together.
In 2022, Teresa expanded her bridal work by launching a separate brand, The Bridal Hair Artists, complete with its own website and social media presence. This innovative approach has led her and her team to create stunning catwalk hairstyles for the National Wedding Show in London, further solidifying her status as a leader in the hair industry.
Teresa and the team at Teresa Weller HairArt are proud to be multi-award-winning, with a growing collection of accolades that continue to make waves across the industry. Discover the full list on our Awards page.
