Meet the team 



      Tony Cripps | Founder & Managing Director

Tony has been involved in hairdressing for 40 years, which has encompassed every aspect of the industry. As a colourist, salon owner, educator, sales consultant, distributor, and importer, there aren’t many areas that Tony doesn't have experience in.


Tony’s love of salon-exclusive, boutique brands led him to his current role and project, BluSky Brands, which under Tony’s guidance is going from strength to strength.

           Gina Cripps | Operations Director 

Gina has been involved in the hairdressing industry for some time now. She is Tony’s right arm and an invaluable part of daily operations. (She actually says she does the things that Tony doesn’t want to do.)
