ABOUT US
I started hairdressing at 13 as a Saturday job.
I knew from then on that it was what I wanted to do. You’re doing something that makes people feel good about themselves and I instantly fell in love with being part of that transformation.
I opened Grace Hair + Beauty in November 2019 so I could deliver this experience to more clients and connect with more beauty professionals. Honestly, there wasn’t a plan! It was quite spontaneous but it felt right and I’ve always followed my gut.
Everything about opening the salon was a challenge! But my vision was to bring together a group of experts to deliver high-quality treatments that welcomed everyone, and I’m so proud to see how that’s come to life.
Alongside building a fantastic team it’s really important to me to make every client feel special. So I’ve really taken the time to design a beautiful interior and think through extra touches such as drinks and sweet treats to set us apart. I want every client to leave feeling better than when they walked in. Feeling confident and fantastic because they’ve had the best experience they could have asked for.
To ensure we keep our high standards, I really prioritise training and get so much joy from seeing the team’s skills and confidence grow. That’s what gives me energy - connecting with and serving people. Both my clients and the other professionals in my salon. I want to become the best version of myself that I can and I think helping others is a huge part of that.
That’s why I also love volunteering at Stonepillow via Haircuts 4 Homeless, offering haircuts to their clients. I always get told how good it makes them feel and I’m so grateful to be part of that experience. I support multiple local charities and am always looking for ways to contribute to our community.
I don’t have a set vision for the future, I’m just focused on continuing to offer the best possible service. To train hairdressers in all hair textures and help them reach their potential. To be fully inclusive and for any person passing our salon to feel represented. To continue being eco-friendly and to support the local community.
