Sarah James
“Thank you for visiting my website. I have been working in the industry for over 30 years and I have a wide range of experience in all aspects of hairdressing.
I’m absolutely passionate about my work, and enjoy a personal relationship with every single client.
Over the years I’ve participated in many hairdressing competitions and been involved in multiple photo shoots. Many having been published, some distributed worldwide.
I also enjoy education, both being taught and passing on knowledge. I have trained many stylists over the years, some of whom have gone on to train others which i’m extremely proud of.”
Bethany Lewis
“I am a bubbly, friendly person and a passionate hairdresser. Not only do I love the creative aspect of my work, but the personal element too.
What I enjoy more than anything is getting to know someone as I’m getting to know their hair.
I have been hairdressing for 10 years and have qualifications in women’s hair and barbering.
In my free time, I also put my skills to good use by volunteering with a wonderful local homeless charity where I offer free hair cuts to Torbay’s rough sleepers.”
Kimberley Harvey

I have been a qualified hairdresser for 6 years. Hairdressing is something i aspired to do from a young age, starting my training at 15. I love all aspects of my job, but my favourite part is doing hair up for weddings and special occasions.
I am the salons hair extensions specialist, with my favourite extension application being Nano beads.
Seeing my clients Happy with my creations is the best feeling!

We're Proud To Be a Nëal & Wølf salon
We love working with Nëal & Wølf. They are dedicated to creating luxury haircare products that deliver incredible results that you can really see and feel, both in-salon and at home.
Their products are carefully created with high-performance ingredients and a spellbinding signature scent to stir the senses.
All of their products are Sulphate & Paraben Free, Cruelty Free, and colour safe, which was a key reason that we switched over to these fantastic products in early 2022, and we haven’t looked back since. The team couldn’t be happier with the results that we have seen since using Neal & Wolf, and we’re confident that you’ll love them as much as we do!
Healthy, Strong & Easy To Manage Hair
Low pH proteins and incredible repairing agents help to transform dry, damaged and weak hair into strong and luscious locks.
