About our founder

My career began at just 14 years old when I started as a Saturday assistant at Antonio’s, one of Kent’s most prestigious hair salons during the 1980s and 1990s, boasting over 14 bustling locations across the county. Those formative years set the stage for a lifelong dedication to hairdressing.

Over time, I've refined my craft and built a loyal clientele, many of whom have trusted me with their hair care for more than 15 years, appreciating my unwavering commitment to their needs.

My career began at just 14 years old when I started as a Saturday assistant at Antonio’s, one of Kent’s most prestigious hair salons during the 1980s and 1990s, boasting over 14 bustling locations across the county. Those formative years set the stage for a lifelong dedication to hairdressing. Over time, I've refined my craft and built a loyal clientele, many of whom have trusted me with their hair care for more than 15 years, appreciating my unwavering commitment to their needs.

This salon is more than just a business; it's a manifestation of my passion and creativity.

A pivotal moment in my career was the opening of Saffron Hair Salon just over nine years ago. This salon is more than just a business; it's a manifestation of my passion and creativity. Saffron Hair Salon quickly became a cherished local hub, known for its welcoming atmosphere and exceptional service, thanks to a fantastic team of fellow stylists and the next generation of trainees.

Our ability to connect with clients and truly understand their needs has been central to our success, earning us four Gold awards at the Kent Health and Beauty Awards, along with numerous accolades in national hair competitions.

The launch of Saffron Haircare Products

Building on the salon's success, we launched Saffron Haircare Products in 2020. The idea was born during a brainstorming session on a train with my manager Beccy, where our shared vision led to the creation of a product line that offers high-quality solutions tailored to our clients' specific hair care needs.

This venture has marked a new chapter in my career, showcasing my entrepreneurial spirit and commitment to excellence.

I love guiding people to find the perfect products for their hair

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is interacting with customers who seek advice on selecting the right Saffron Haircare products. I love being approachable and guiding people to find the perfect products for their hair. This personal touch not only enhances customer satisfaction but also strengthens the bond I share with my clients.

Hard work, dedication & passion

I take immense pride in all I've accomplished. From my early days as a Saturday assistant to becoming a successful salon owner and product developer, my journey reflects hard work, dedication, and passion. With a loving family by my side and a thriving business, I'm excited about the future and all the possibilities it holds.
