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.

After having a terrible cut while on holiday I had my hair cut on my return with my usual stylist Marie and I’m so happy with the results as usual and she suggested having a conditioning treatment and mask which had worked wonders on the colour and texture of my hair
Thank you Marie again for another great cut and blow dry I will not be letting anyone loose on my hair again !

This treatment was new to me and I wasn't disappointed. Each process was explained and a camera is used to check the hair follicles. After the treatment my hair seemed softer than usual. It is a relaxing experience and I had a good sleep that night. I'll book another treatment to see if it has helped my hair growth.
