Hi, my name is Sophie, and I am the founder of HARE and Beauty LTD.

I am a bubbly character that loves a good laugh with my clients and I am passionate about everything I do. I always give 110% when providing a service.

My favourite colour is pink, I LOVE chihuahuas and I play the guitar. I love going away with my husband Ross and I enjoy spending time with my friends and family but also like my own space. Ross and I have a beautiful daughter called Margot.

How did I open HARE and Beauty?
I get asked this a lot! ... When I was 15-18 years old, I had 5 part time jobs whilst I was at school/sixth form/college. I have always had a strong work ethic and in my own mind- nothing is out of reach! I always knew I would do ‘something’ as I’ve always had it in me- I just never knew what. To save me blabbering on- I opened a small salon in March 2015 when I was 18. I didn’t pay myself a penny for the first 6 months as I continued to waitress/pot wash in the evenings to make sure I knew the salon worked. It was a success and in 2018 I bought the salon we are in today and we became HARE and beauty LTD.
