be...salon
we were born in 2007 & our values have stayed the same
about us
be...salon opened it's doors on 3rd November 2007, and from the very start all the products we used or sold were cruelty-free. We wanted to be different in a good way and not all about the sometimes self-centred and unfeeling beauty industry. We looked to make our clients feel great when they left the salon and help sort out their very real hair needs so, to move away from the falseness of the industry.
We had our our 5th birthday in 2012 and celebrated it in the salon with a party with our lovely clients and friends, the theme was Hollywood / Bollywood so we all dressed up to the nines and partied, celebrating 5 years of be...salon.
Our 10th birthday was in 2017 and we also celebrated it with a good old get together with our clients and friends at the salon with music, food, drink and an awards ceremony like at the Oscars, which was great fun, we also remembered our beautiful clients / friends who were no longer with us and were missed terribly, which was very moving.
In 2019 we started our re-furb of the outside of the salon with a new sign, new logo and new colours, which was very exciting and it was completed in early 2020. We love our new image and think it is much more modern for the new decade of the 2020's.
Our next venture will be our reception & shop area, this again we will be updated & re-branded with our new logo & colours. We will also be having a new reception desk (as our old one was only meant to be temporary when we had our staircase built, over 7 years again) so it will be exciting for us to have a new one. Then we will be looking to update the salon area and have a move around!
Here's to the next 10 years.
