Helen is a Freelance Hair Artist, Skincare and Wellbeing Advisor based in South West London.

With 25 years of experience in the hair industry, natural looking hair colour has long been Helen’s passion and she focuses on this as an area of expertise, as well as offering haircuts and blow dries, from her residency within Venwood Hair & Beauty, a welcoming salon in Richmond Upon Thames.

Helen’s career has led her from salon to editorial environments, she has dipped her toes into the world of fashion with stints at both print and digital magazines, spent time working on the personal shopping team for one of London’s most prestigious department stores and previously freelanced as a ‘travelling stylist’ visiting clients by private appointment in their homes and hotels around the capital.

For over a decade, Helen also worked with a leading, British, beauty apothecary, feeding her keen interest in skincare, developing knowledge through multi brand training and testing out hundreds of products along the way.

Following treatment for breast cancer in 2018, Helen decided to adopt a slower pace to London living, prioritising time spent in nature which she found therapeutic in her recovery and taking a greater interest into natural, botanical skincare and holistic therapies.

Facialist training came next, with particular interest in facial massage techniques, along with the decision to partner with Weleda to offer skincare and well-being advice.

Once a month, Helen hosts Slow Sundays to encourage rest and offer guests respite from a busy city life. Her deeply relaxing treatments focus on facial massage and restoring a sense of equilibrium to tired bodies and busy minds.

It’s rare to discover one professional that can help you to take care of your hair, skin AND well-being, a unique bonus for Helen’s guests.

Her extensive knowledge is shared with enthusiasm and combines with a heartfelt desire to provide the very best, personalised service and one to one care.
