Licensed stylists, one at a time

Two licensed stylists and two colourists, each with years of practice behind the chair. Length, shade and comfort are settled with a guest before any service begins, and nothing is ever sold across the chair.

Beside each name: the tools, the hair and the kind of work that stylist takes on most often at the chair.

  • A blow-dryer held over a sectioned, clipped head of dark hair.

    Cutting

    Simone Laurent

    Owner and senior stylist

    Takes the signature precision cut and blow-dry and the full-head foil highlights with bond repair.

    Simone Laurent is a licensed cosmetologist, with fourteen years of practice and advanced training in precision and dry cutting, short structured shapes and fine woven foils. She is known for reading how hair falls on its own and for careful cuts that grow out well. The length is agreed before the first cut and checked again partway through, and anything will stop or change the moment a guest asks.

    Ask for this role when a new shape, a growing-out fringe or all-over highlights needs a patient eye.

  • Hands cutting a section of dark curly hair with scissors.

    Booking diary

    Julian Hale

    Salon manager and colour director

    Julian Hale is a licensed colourist of nine years, certified in hand-painted balayage and bond-repair colour. He takes first-time colour guests with a full patch and strand test, runs the booking diary and plans each colour transformation with the guest beforehand. What a service involves and what it costs is settled before anything is reserved, never after.

    Ask for this role when the booking is a first colour, a big change or a gift for someone else.

  • A child's straight hair clipped up and cut with scissors.

    Colour

    Ama Owusu

    Colour specialist

    Ama Owusu is a colour specialist of eleven years, certified in grey blending and gentle colour for sensitive scalps. She works scalp-first, keeping colour off the skin and the lengths wherever she can, and finishes with a clear high-shine gloss and a smooth blow-dry. Every product is named before use, and any past reaction a guest mentions stays on the note for the next visit.

    Ask for this role when roots are grey, the scalp is sensitive or faded ends need a gentle refresh.

  • Scissors trimming the hairline at the nape of a seated client.

    Texture and events

    Claire Beaumont

    Texture and occasion stylist

    Claire Beaumont is a licensed stylist trained in curl care, keratin smoothing and bridal hair. She leads the smoothing treatment and the occasion updo, and can carry a bridal party through a long morning of styling. She also looks after the wash bar and the colour room, which has its own basin and is kept calm and quiet.

    Ask for this role when the booking is a smoothing treatment, a wedding updo or curls that need taming.

Who takes which service

Each service on the list is carried by the stylist trained for it. A guest may name a particular stylist in the booking message, and Noir & Gilt Salon confirms whether that diary has room before the appointment is held.
