Discover the power of healthy, vibrant curls with personalised in-salon treatments and premium products designed to nurture and enhance your natural texture.
Hi, I'm Sarah. The Curl Alchemist!
The hands, heart, and soul behind The Curl Alchemist, I’ve been hairdressing for over 21 years, starting my apprenticeship at just 16 years old!
Early on, something just clicked. I learnt a way I could transform curls, even though no one was applying it that way yet.
From that moment on, I started cutting and caring for curly hair differently. It simply made sense.
Inspired by my son & my own clients, I built my salon with the goal of creating an environment that’s welcoming for everyone.
I want everyone who walks through my doors to feel safe, seen, and celebrated for exactly who you are.

"If you want a real quality curly girl cut by a top notch professional go to Sarah. Many hairdressers claim to be able to cut curly hair but in my experience they really have no clue. " Tracey
