Salon Co-Owner
Sam Downs-Smith
Sam has over 15 years in the Industry and 7 years as a Business owner.
"I started with an apprenticeship and worked hard to quickly move up the levels. I knew I always wanted to run my own business, I decided to take the exciting jump to become self employed. After 3 years of working together Sammie and I decided to open Bellimi Hair Bar, my ultimate dream! I also feel so lucky to have such a great team of stylists working with us that have helped the dream of owning a successful business come true.
My favourite services are extensions and colour transformations, I love the science behind colour and working out the process of how to get from A to B. I really enjoy making clients feel great about themselves and helping them to achieve their hair dreams!"
Salon Co-Owner
Sammie Wooster
Sammie has over 15 years salon experience and 7 years as a Business owner.
"I have always had an interest in hairdressing since I was a child and realised it was a path I wanted to take after doing work experience when I was 14/15. I never imagined I would get an opportunity to run my own salon so to say we have a successful business and amazing team by our side is an incredible feeling!
Although I enjoy all aspects of the job, I really love Balayage's, creative cuts and colours, any form of creating a big transformation for someone nothing is to big of a challenge!
When I'm not in the salon I'm busy being mum spending my spare time with my family and dog or baking up a cake or two!".
Stylist
Lauren Hall
Lauren has over 10 years salon experience.
"My Nan is a hairdresser and I've always loved watching her over the years which sparked my interest in hairdressing so I went straight from school into an apprenticeship.
I love all areas of blonding from highlights, babylights and balayage. I've also completed advanced cutting and colouring and hair extension courses to expand my skills.
Away from the salon I like to spend time with my family and have an interest in photography/designing around social media."
Stylist
ellie woodcraft
Ever since I was little, I've always been obsessed with having my hair done and loved playing with my sisters hair so I always knew it was something I wanted to do. I love making people feel good about themselves and seeing the confidence a new hairstyle can bring.
I especially love all things blonde, from bright blondes to softer, more natural tones and I'm always looking to learn and develop my skills regularly.
when I'm not in the salon, I enjoy spending my time with my family and dogs and going to the gym.
