- About us -

Ollie Foster - Director/ Head of Education

International Educator Ollie has always had a keen interest in hair and fashion. Growing up, Ollie was a Goalkeeper, Musician, Theatrical and after completing further education decided to peruse a Hairdressing apprenticeship. He did this for about a year before leaving to become a full time P.E Coach while balancing a music career. In 2015, I dropped everything to come back to hair and try my luck with the clippers. “Seeing 47 grow to where we are today has been amazing and we are still watching it grow!” Ollie has educated all over the globe with The Great British Barber Bash and this is a huge passion of his. If he’s not behind the chair, you will find him having a pint in the Cherry with the lads!

Ryan Ingram

Ryan is our man about town, he has found a home in our Hoole store alongside the team. Ryan is a keen fisherman, fishing for fades... more like a salmon out of water. Ryan's also a Manchester United fan... Unfortunately. So if youre looking for a clean cut, a good laugh RYANS THE MAN!

Lachlan O'connor

Loccy, Loccy, Loccy... Be prepared to laugh until you hurt. You'll find Loc, up in our Boughton store. By far the biggest Everton fan we know (Up The Toffees) Loccy, originally from the Wirral, found his way onto the tools though social media. He always stayed in contact with Ollie, asking for guidence. After a few years of cutting, Loc was offered a position at 47 to grow and learn. He's now part of our furnature and we LOVE him!
