About five years ago, I came to understand that I’m neurodivergent. That realisation was both clarifying and validating—it helped explain why I had always struggled in traditional salon environments, and ultimately led me to build a private, sensory-aware studio.
At the time, I didn’t anticipate how many of my clients would share similar challenges. While the space was originally designed to support my professional focus, it’s become clear that the environment also resonates strongly with others who are neurodivergent, introverted, or sensitive to overstimulation.
This page exists to make that clear. If you’ve found typical salons overwhelming or difficult to navigate, this space may offer a welcome alternative—without noise, pressure, or performance.
Supportive Features
The studio is built on considered, neuro-aware principles that often align with the needs of clients who experience anxiety, overstimulation, or executive fatigue:
A quiet, one-on-one setting with acoustic-engineered soundproofing and double-glazed windows
No mindless small talk
Flexible service elements (basin work, blow-dry, conversation, music volume, room temperature)
A fragrance-free space—clients are asked not to wear perfume
No upselling, no product pushing, and no double-booking
A curated contemporary instrumental and neo-classical playlist in both the waiting room and studio
If that sounds like the kind of setting you’ve been seeking, you can continue below to learn more about how I work.
