Daniel learnt fast and word about his skill and "artist's eye" in applying colour, soon meant that he was sought after by many top salons. Daniel decide to join Leonard, which then had a large tinting department, where he developed and refined his colouring ideas. After four years he became a director and later partner in the company. Always at the forefront of innovation in hair colouring, it was during this period that Daniel introduced new highlighting techniques, henna, vegetable dyes and the fun "Crazy Colour", which revolutionised the way in which hair was coloured.

In the late seventies Daniel set up his first specialist colour salon, the first of its kind in Europe. Daniel's reputation and endorsement by his clients, top models and the media led him to open an even larger salon at the present location in George Street, in April 2003. The importance of colour is emphasised in the salon where the entire ground floor is dedicated to colouring, this in turn is complimented by an excellent styling department with its own talented team on the lower ground floor.
