Ian Egerton
Founder of Loop HR
Ian’s mission is to simplify salon management and make careers in hair and beauty more attractive, rewarding, and sustainable for everyone.
His journey began as a hairdresser, owning his first salon at just 22. He broadened his experience overseas, managing salons while studying business, before returning to the UK in 2001 to acquire a London salon. His dedication to the industry led to an active role in shaping it—eventually becoming President of the National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF).
Drawing on decades of hands-on experience, Ian founded Loop HR to solve the everyday challenges faced by salon managers. Today, he works alongside leading point-of-sale providers and partners with salon owners and managers to implement a framework that supports high-performing teams and long-term success.
Our Story
We didn’t follow a conventional path. Loop HR was founded in 2018 to give salon managers the tools, structure, and confidence to simplify their daily operations - freeing up time to grow their business and support their team.
Like all great ideas, Loop HR has evolved. With advances in technology and a deeper understanding of people management, we’ve built a platform that supports salons of all types and sizes.
Today, Loop HR is trusted by salon managers and their teams to provide structure, clarity, and guidance—helping every person in the business develop, perform, and thrive.
