History Of Spruce

Spruce was originally set up in 2013 as a progression salon by Elaine Smith a former College tutor in Argyll. It started as a salon for stylists with a passion for barbering and hairdressing to progress and enhance their skills and client base within the Argyll area. We hope that in our five year plan we would progress as a team in education, business development and customer care. All of the team are self employed and are committed to be the best they can be in all aspects of hairdressing and barbering. Elaine also offers in house personal training and refresher courses for Hairdressing. Spruce would like to thank the following photographers.
