Two months after their marriage, wife and wife team Hizze Fletcher-King and Jojo King have combined their skills to bring a new concept in creativity.
BRUSH is their brand new independently owned boutique featuring an art gallery/shop and a one-chair hair salon in the heart of central Brighton’s historic North Laine.
The salon offers a high standard of hair cutting + colouring services, a fair and gender neutral price structure and is trans-friendly.
The artist run gallery represents Brighton’s mightiest emerging and established artists and makers, including LGBT artists Romany Mark Bruce, Kitty Finegan, Precious Murphy, Fox Fisher and more.
Jojo has always had a thing about cutting hair, travelling with her clippers and cutting anyone’s hair who would allow it. After an inspiring stint working in Australia with the WeirdSistas, an ethical + professional dreadlocking business, she decided to train to become a hairdresser.
Jojo now has over 5 years experience, she completed her training at The Bomb and Forde Hair before going solo in 2013. Hair By Jojo established itself as a one-chair salon in an emporium of self-employed businesses within a tattoo parlour in Brighton in October 2013. During her time there Jojo built up a loyal clientelle due to her fair price structure, consistent high standards and friendly manner.
Since graduating from Central St. Martin’s School of Art, Hizze has had a varied and extensive career in the creative industry spanning over 25 years involving her with the likes of Vivienne Westwood, MTV and BBC TV.
After moving to Brighton in 2006 she formed her own company, Thirteen Art Productions, and has collaborated with the arts community organising group-art shows and events while helping to raise money for charities including The Sussex Beacon, The Terrence Higgins Trust and The Rainbow Fund.
Hizze is also a curator for Brighton Pride Arts & Film Festival and an independent grant panel member of The Rainbow Fund. Added to this she is a fine artist in her own right, exhibiting in the UK and internationally.
