Co owner Susannah Jones, originally from Chester moved to London 20 years ago and worked in Aveda salons. She established the brand with her business partner Katie. ” During Covid I moved back up North for more support from my family, I’ve got two young children. We found a team quite quickly. “
“We are an Aveda lifestyle salon. All of the products are plant derived, so it matches our ethical ethos. We are completely vegan, everything is recycled. Every part of the business we try and be as ethical as possible. With the gender equal aspect, we don’t charge by the gender you are, we charge for the service we provide. Rather than it being unisex, its actually the pricing structure that is equal, we are genderless. “
