Our Journey in Luxury Hair Care: A Story from Turkey to Marbella

From Turkey to Marbella: A Hairdressing Legacy

Every great journey begins with a story—and ours starts in Turkey.

Emre Gürcan is the nephew of one of Turkey’s most famous and respected hairdressers. Surrounded by creativity, discipline, and craftsmanship from a very young age, Emre stepped into the world of hairdressing at just 14 years old. His career began at MOS Hairdressers, salons owned by his uncle, where he learned the foundations of the profession and developed a deep respect for the art of hair.

Eager to grow beyond borders, Emre continued his education at MOS Academies. He received professional training from some of the world’s most prestigious brands, including L’Oréal, Wella, Revlon, Aveda, Toni & Guy, and Vidal Sassoon. These experiences shaped his technical excellence and gave him a truly international vision of hairdressing.

A New Chapter in the United Kingdom

Looking for new challenges, Emre moved to the United Kingdom. Here, his career entered an exciting new phase. He opened his first salon in Chelsea, London, quickly becoming a trusted name among celebrities and professionals within the fashion industry. His work combined precision with creativity, allowing him to collaborate with influential clients and fashion-focused projects.

Building on this success, Emre later opened his second salon in Surbiton. This expansion strengthened his reputation as a hairdresser who delivers both style and substance.

A Dream Realized in Marbella

After many years in London, a new dream began to take shape. Emre wanted a lifestyle where his children could grow up under sunny skies, with a stronger connection to nature and balance. This vision led him to Marbella, marking the beginning of a new chapter—both personally and professionally.

In Marbella, Emre founded a truly unique concept: an Aveda salon that works exclusively with Aveda colors and Aveda products. To this day, it remains the only salon in the area dedicated solely to the Aveda philosophy—combining high-performance hair results with sustainability, plant-based formulas, and respect for the environment.
