About us

A very experienced local hairdresser with an incredible reputation in Billericay and Shenfeild; having worked in the areas biggest salon group. She is a colour specialist and managed the group’s most successful salon and team of 15 for 9 years. After trying to work for another salon she found she could not control her environment and provide the high standard of hairdressing and service that she demands of herself and the team around her; the obvious choice was to do it for herself, build a salon with another great team and create a new hair story.

Had a Hair wash with an added exhilarating head massage . Then an expertly executed hair cut and a blow dry to tame my difficult to control curly hair . All done in a clean , friendly and well appointed salon . A very pleasant experience throughout.

Gillian helped me bring my wish into reality for donating my hair to the little princess trust charity. She made the process seemless, she knew exactly what she was doing so I had complete faith in her. After the chop she styled it for me into a cute Lob with a side bang and curled it for me and I absolutely loved it! I was nervous for such a huge change to my hair but Gillian made it completely stress free and I actually ended up loving the result! 100/10 ❤️

I went for a model cut and colour. I’m very happy with my haircut today. The colour was beautiful and the cut was just what I wanted. Eliza was very good and she provided an excellent service and Marie oversaw the haircut and colour and made sure the customer was happy with what they wanted and explained how the colour and cut would look. I have been a customer of Retreat for a long time and it’s the only place I would recommend highly. A very welcoming place and friendly stylists.
