Ash Lennan: The Stylist Defining the Next Generation
Ash Lennan Manager of Soul Hair Studio
A Vision Fuelled by Dedication
Hairdressing has never been just a job for Ash Lennan—it has been a calling. At 16, she began her apprenticeship at La Bella Hair Studio, setting the foundation for a career built on skill and determination. Even as life shifted—pausing briefly for motherhood—her ambition never wavered. She commuted five days a week to Tamworth, balancing training with family, determined to earn her qualification and make her mark in the industry.
Elevating Skill and Creativity
Fast-forward to today, and Ash stands as Manager of Soul Hair Studio in Gunnedah, leading with confidence, expertise, and a vision for innovation. A fully booked schedule and a growing clientele reflect not just her talent, but the trust she has built in her community.
Beyond the chair, she thrives in mentorship, shaping emerging stylists into confident professionals. Recognition has followed, with two-time finalist placements in The Mane Event, proving her skill on a national stage. Competitions ignite her creativity, pushing her to elevate her artistry and explore new techniques.
Pushing Boundaries in the Industry
Joining the Newcastle Artistic Team has taken her career to new heights. Collaboration with some of the industry's most forward-thinking stylists has sharpened her technical and creative edge. Every session, every shoot, every challenge fuels her passion for pushing hair artistry beyond traditional limits.
Mentorship remains a defining part of her journey. Watching apprentices evolve into skilled stylists drives her to share knowledge, nurture talent, and create opportunities for the next generation.
What’s next for Ash?
As 2025 unfolds, Ash is ready to step even further outside her comfort zone. Expanding education, competing on larger stages, and refining her creative identity remain at the forefront of her vision. At CPR Hair, we celebrate her journey and look forward to supporting her as she continues to inspire, innovate, and redefine the boundaries of modern hairdressing.
