Why We Created This Space
At Hair in the City, we know that a traditional salon setting isn’t right for everyone. Whether you wear a hijab, are experiencing hair loss, regrowing your hair after chemotherapy, or feel more at ease in a calmer space, our private room was designed with you in mind.
Tucked away from the main salon floor, it offers the quiet, dignity and care you deserve, whatever your reason for needing a bit more privacy.
Who This Room is For
Our private space is open to anyone who needs or prefers it. It’s particularly well-suited to:
-
Clients experiencing hair loss or thinning who want privacy and discretion.
-
Those who wear religious head coverings (e.g. hijab, turban) and require modesty.
-
Individuals managing social anxiety, neurodivergence, or sensory sensitivities.
-
LGBTQ+ clients looking for a non-judgemental, gender-neutral environment.
-
Clients who are recovering from chemotherapy, with hair beginning to grow back.
-
Anyone who simply prefers a calm, one-on-one space for their appointment
Supporting You Through Post-Chemo Hair Regrowth
Hair regrowth after chemotherapy is a sensitive and deeply personal experience.
Louise has supported many clients, including her sister, at this stage in their journey and understands the emotions, questions, and practical concerns that come with it.
Our private room provides the ideal setting for this important phase—free from distractions, full of empathy, and tailored to your needs.
