My Journey
It's Time to Glow
With 36 years of experience in hairdressing, I have always been passionate about making people feel good. However, during the COVID pandemic, when I was unable to work, I found myself on a completely new path. It was an opportunity to step away from hairdressing and explore something different.
One course led to another, and I began a journey of self-discovery, health, and well-being. I realized the importance of actively taking care of my own well-being, and I found joy in learning about mindfulness, Reiki, tuning forks, crystals, meditations and essential oils. I was also fortunate to have a mentor who was already integrating energy work into the hair salon. Working closely with her, I continued to grow and learn, developing a deep passion for combining hairdressing with holistic treatments.
As I experimented with these new techniques, I introduced them to my clients—offering extended luxury hair wash treatments, chakra cleansing, and energy work in the chair. The response was incredible. Both my clients and I fell in love with the experience, and it soon became an essential part of their salon visits.
Each appointment is uniquely tailored to the individual, creating a deeply relaxing and rejuvenating experience. If you're curious to explore this unique blend of hairdressing and holistic care, I would love to welcome you to Karen's Holistic Haven. Get in touch, and let’s create a personalized experience just for you.
