Retreat Hairdressing

About us

A very experienced local hairdresser with an incredible reputation in Billericay and Shenfeild; having worked in the areas biggest salon group. She is a colour specialist and managed the group’s most successful salon and team of 15 for 9 years. After trying to work for another salon she found she could not control her environment and provide the high standard of hairdressing and service that she demands of herself and the team around her; the obvious choice was to do it for herself, build a salon with another great team and create a new hair story.

The salon is one of a kind, a little sanctuary where you feel well looked after. It’s got really good vibes and just like the sign says, money doesn’t make you happy but it buys you hairdresser’s appointments and that’s close enough 🙂

I had a scalp and hair cleanse treatment which was absolutely fantastic. Wonderful hair massage too and I cannot believe how great my hair looks lovely and shiny and thicker. I have booked my second treatment and will continue to do so. Thank you Gillian.

This treatment was new to me and I wasn't disappointed. Each process was explained and a camera is used to check the hair follicles. After the treatment my hair seemed softer than usual. It is a relaxing experience and I had a good sleep that night. I'll book another treatment to see if it has helped my hair growth.
