About the Business
Leaf is a small but very unique quirky local upmarket salon. Our salon has been designed so it does not look like a typical hairdressing salon. We have filled it with lots of interesting items from all over the place, from the giant ornamental mirrors to the 6 feet tall wooden parrot from Jamaica. Large cherubs hang from the fabulous original coved ceiling, which is painted with gold leaf. Beautifully framed artwork adjourns the walls which also feature faded mural paintings inspired by Michealangelo.
Leaf opened its doors in 1992. It started off with a ramshackle salon, a Dalmatian puppy and a couple of members of staff who were self employed and appeared to come and go as they pleased! Katie bought it in 1996 from the owner Alfie, having worked there for a year. The next few years were spent gradually doing the salon up, building up the clientele and making the staff employed and doing regular hours. And last but not least, getting rid of the resident puppy.
