Meet Laura
Honest advice, personalised care — and a salon that's just for you
I'm Laura — and Hair by Laura is mine, entirely. When you come in, you get me, my full attention, and a one-to-one experience that's built around making you feel genuinely looked after.
I started out knowing I wanted to do things differently. No rushing between clients, no advice designed to upsell, no pressure to commit to something that isn't right for your hair. Just honest conversation and work I'm genuinely proud of.
"I want every client to feel confident — not just in how they look, but in the decision they made to come here."

MY STORY
Why I do things this way
I've been doing hair for over ten years — and in that time, the thing that's always mattered most to me isn't the technical side. It's the experience. Whether someone's coming in for a quick trim or a full colour transformation, they should leave feeling genuinely better — and that starts with feeling listened to.
Working in a private, one-to-one salon means I can give every client the attention they deserve. I'm not watching the clock, I'm not managing three appointments at once. I'm focused entirely on you and what your hair actually needs.
I keep learning constantly — new techniques, new products, new research on hair health — because the best results come from genuinely understanding what works and why. Not just doing what's always been done.
WHAT I BELIEVE
"Honest advice isn't about telling people what they want to hear. It's about telling them the truth — even when that means saying a goal isn't achievable in one session, or that a treatment isn't right for their hair. That honesty is what builds trust, and trust is everything in this job."
MY APPROACH
"Every consultation starts with a proper conversation — not a quick glance in the mirror and a nod. I want to understand your hair, your lifestyle, how much time you realistically spend on it, and what you're genuinely hoping to achieve. Then we build a plan together."
WHAT YOU GET WITH LAURA
The things that set this salon apart
Just you and me
No other clients during your appointment. My full attention, from start to finish, in a calm and private space.
Honest from the start
I'll always tell you what I think — even if that means managing expectations or suggesting a different approach.
Hair health first
Every decision I make considers the long-term health of your hair — not just how it looks today.
Continual learning
I invest in training regularly so the techniques and products I use reflect current best practice — not just habit.
KIND WORDS
"Lovely to meet Laura. Friendly atmosphere. Laura really listened to what I wanted, and I'm so happy with my cut and colour."
— Anna
