Charlotte’s Academy is a cornerstone of the Cowes business scene and has been providing clients with quality hair and beauty treatments for over 20 years. Created in 2001 by the owner and Creative Director Charlotte Stephan, the 5-star hair salon has come a long way from its small beginnings.
Starting out as a humble three-seater salon on Shooters Hill, Charlotte rapidly grew the business by providing the best quality services and relying on clients to recommend the hair salon to their friends and family.
In a place as close-knit as the Isle of Wight, maintaining a good reputation depends on delivering consistent expertise, which is why cultivating a business in this way speaks volumes to the dedication and passion she and her team share for their art.
It was not long before Charlotte’s needed more room and more hairstylists.
The chosen site for the new hair and beauty salon was a listed property on Birmingham Road. The building had once served as a Chemist but had long since been forgotten. Somewhat derelict, it needed the vision of a talented stylist to look past the mess and see the potential hidden within.
Renovations began and after several months of hard work, Charlotte’s Academy had its new and current location, with three times the capacity and a look and feel to compliment the quality of their service.
In addition to the six cutting stations, the new salon was fitted out with top of line washing stations, three hair colouring stations, two beauty rooms for skin care, waxing, and massage as well as a spa including a hot tub, sauna, and shower room.
