A Celebration of Life for Ariane Poole 🖤💔

14th June 1957 – 9th October 2026

Today, we remember and celebrate our beautiful friend, @arianepoole.cosmetics make-up artist, a much loved friend and a truly lovely person. She will be missed more than words can say.

I had the privilege of knowing Ariane for more than 40 years. We first met at Fashion Week, when I was working as art director for @pauledmonds217 . From that moment, we became firm friends. Looking back, I can honestly say that Ariane made every project brighter. Our lives were enriched by her, and the work we did together was always filled with friendship, laughter and fun.

We shared so many wonderful experiences the, Clothes Show, Style Challenge, GMTV, the National Wedding Show, magazine celebrity shoots, session work and so much more. Arianne was talented, creative and deeply respected, but what I remember most is the person she was warm, generous and always smiling. She had a lovely way of making people feel at ease, and she was always ready with a kind word or thoughtful advice.

Ariane went on to create her own cosmetics range. When I first opened my salon, I was proud to sell it there. That was Arianne full of ideas, determination and belief in what she could create. She brought the same care and passion to everything she did, and she inspired so many people along the way.

From 2022, Ariane faced stage four pancreatic cancer with remarkable courage. She was a fighter, and her love for her three incredibly talented daughters Electra, Sienna and Ria, was a source of immense strength. Her devotion to them was clear to everyone who knew her.

To Ariane’s family, and especially her daughters I am so deeply sorry for your loss. I hope you can take comfort in knowing how loved and admired Ariane was, and how many lives she touched. The friendship and laughter she gave us will stay with us always.

May the angels who gently carry your beloved Arianne now wrap you in their wings, bringing you peace, strength and solace in this time of sorrow.

Ariane, thank you for the memories, the laughter and the friendship. You were a beautiful soul, and we will miss you dearly.❤️‍🩹🖤💔✝️

It’s been a hella month ….

• Leading LFW
• Art directed a EMEA launch campaign
• Global education shoot
• Watched Millie get her flowers 🌷
• Salon International
• Tested with a new concept that ended up 10/10
• Spent time with some of my best friends and family
• Creative head mag and spent some time with people I’ve truly missed

You know, you don’t see all the graft behind it on here, the sacrifices, the lack of sleep, the mental blocks from overload, the stress, the failures, the challenges, and trying to juggle all that and still be a good Mum and partner, it ain’t always easy. Just wanted to show some love to the people that always sit in my corner, I’m not soppy so this is as deep as it gets 😅 you know who you are, love always, you got me, and I got you. 👊🏼

What a couple of days.

We put the work in at Salon International, then got the chance to finish things off at the Creative HEAD Most Wanted & IT List Awards — and what a night it was. 🏆

The performances, the winners, the talent in that room… proper inspiring.

Sometimes when you’re constantly working, creating, cutting and travelling, you don’t really stop to take everything in. So being able to switch off a little, enjoy the atmosphere and celebrate the industry was needed.

Big congratulations to everyone who won, everyone who performed and everyone who was part of the night.

And a massive thank you to Creative HEAD for having us. 🙏🏽

Back to work now… but definitely leaving inspired. 🔥

THIS is what happens when you invest in my education…..

Being an educator is about so much more than standing in front of a group and teaching.

It’s about creating opportunities, pushing boundaries and bringing real world experiences back to your students.

Here’s a little behind the scenes look at me putting together the live Main Stage show at @hairconshow

The preparation, the pressure, the creativity, the teamwork and ultimately stepping onto that stage.

And this is exactly why I believe in investing in me as your educator.

Because when you invest in me, I invest in YOU.

I’m constantly putting myself in environments that challenge me, surrounding myself with the best in the industry, taking on opportunities that push me outside my comfort zone and finding ways to turn those experiences into something that benefits the people I teach.

I don’t just want to teach you what I know today.

I want to keep learning, growing, experiencing and doing MORE

So I can bring that knowledge, experience, connections and opportunities back to you.

Because your education shouldn’t stop at what happens inside the classroom.

My growth becomes your opportunity.

And if I’m going to ask you to dream bigger, push yourself and believe in what’s possible…

I have to be willing to do exactly the same. ❤️

Starting today, I’m sharing a series of short, candid and slightly tongue in cheek BTS reels with the amazing super talented @hairbyher_____ my right hand and lead on all my shows.

We had just finished our @hairconshow 2026 show at Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse with Josh Lamonaca, proudly representing @nishladyuk @nishladyofficial and @nishman.uk @joshlamonaca , professional salon technology, clean formulations and products created for diverse hair needs.

After days of serious preparation, precision and pressure, we decided it was time for a little laughter!

Because behind every great show is hard work, teamwork… and just a little bit of madness! 😂 Stay tuned you’re about to see a very different side of us! 🎬✨

Respect, trust and compassion are not luxuries they are the foundations of every strong working relationship. Listen more than you speak, communicate with kindness and value the people who consistently stand beside you.

Trust is built in drops and lost in buckets, so protect it and never take a genuine partnership for granted. Ultimately, the strongest achievements are built through mutual respect, understanding and teamwork. 🫂📣👏

HAIRCON 2026 CONTEMPORARY LIVING ⚡️

What an incredible experience @hairconshow Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse, where nearly 12,000 passionate hair professionals came together for a celebration of creativity, education and our extraordinary industry.

I was proud to close the show with CONTEMPORARY LIVING a powerful collaboration with @nishladyuk @nishladyofficial assisted by the brilliant @hairbyher_____

This collection represented modern hair at its most directional, precision cutting balanced with effortless, wearable luxury. Sharp yet soft. Creative yet commercial. From elevated blow-dries and modern layering to refined shapes, texture and movement, every look was designed to take inspiration from the runway into real salon life.

@nishladyuk professional styling range brought each vision to life with exceptional finish, control and versatility. Collaboration is where the magic happens when shared passion, trust and creativity come together, we don’t simply create hair, we create a moment.

@nishladyuk @joshlamonaca @nishman opened the show, and I had the honour of closing it. Powerful energy, incredible talent and an unforgettable celebration of British hairdressing.

This is CONTEMPORARY LIVING.
Modern. Expressive. Individual. Unstoppable. 🔥✂️

On my 19th birthday, I’ve been reflecting on the incredible year I’ve had.

I now have the honour of being the youngest ever Lead Hair at London Fashion Week. It means so much to me because this is the area of my career I’m most passionate about.

I’ve also had the privilege of working with some of my dream brands, including Vogue, Armani Privé, Dolce & Gabbana and Bvlgari.

This year I’ve continued to refine my craft through Project Sassoon, which has developed me enormously as a creative. I’m so proud of the work I produced as part of this incredible programme, and it still gives me goosebumps seeing my images shared by the Fellowship to promote the programme and its cutting courses.

A particular highlight was making my main stage debut at HairCon. I can’t thank Fresha enough for believing in me and trusting me with such a huge project. Through the process, I discovered just how fulfilling it is to collaborate with other creatives to bring a vision to life.

I’m also incredibly proud to have established the Hair Artistry Creative Team. My vision is to work with the very best young creatives and give them the same opportunities that others have so generously given me.

My salon, Hair Artistry, has also had a fantastic first year, achieving a profitable six-figure turnover, and I have big plans for its future.

These projects have also led to recognition through finalist places in some of the industry’s biggest awards, including Prohair, BHBA, IT List and Most Wanted. I still can’t quite believe I’ve been named a finalist in four Creative HEAD Awards.

Thank you to every mentor who has supported, challenged and believed in me this year. I genuinely wouldn’t be where I am without you.

I was once told by a former boss that I should “get out of the Porsche garage” when I shared my ambitions. I’m so glad I stayed true to my convictions because so many of those ambitions have now become reality.

I’m excited to see what 19 brings ❤️

@hairconshow … what an incredible few days.

This is why I love our industry. The creativity, the energy, the teamwork and the privilege of bringing our vision of Contemporary Living to life with an extraordinary team and phenomenal models.

Excellence never happens by accident. It comes through preparation, trust, passion and a shared belief in creating something unforgettable.

A special thank you to the incredibly talented @at.creative_ @at_creates_ltd Your creativity, vision and ability to transform ideas into unforgettable moments is simply exceptional. It’s always an honour to work alongside you.

For me, it’s never just about hair. It’s about people, lifting each other up, sharing knowledge and inspiring confidence. Watching our models grow, own the stage and shine was the greatest reward of all.

To every model, artist, assistant and member of the production team @hairbyher_____ we thank you. Together we created something truly special, and moments like these remind me why I still love what I do. A MASSIVE THANK YOU TO @nishladyuk @nishladyofficial
