Advertising Feature by Hair@Home with Siobhan
This month I’m celebrating 10 years of my business, Hair at home with Siobhan - Wella Colourist and Stylist.
With over 20 years of Salon experience, working in The Hairdressing Company, Harpenden/Luton and The Old Brewhouse, Wheathampstead, venturing out on my own was one of the best decisions I ever made!
I have many wonderful clients that have followed me through the years and have stayed loyal throughout the lows of Covid and the highs of my maternity leave, having my son, and I can't thank them enough.
Having your hair done in the comfort of your own home is fantastic for all the family as we lead such busy lives and it really is a time saver.
As a mum I work mainly part-time but I'm looking to increase my hours and I'm pleased to say I'm opening my books to new clients!
If you're interested be do not hesitate to get in touch for a chat, to book a consultation or skin test.
I have my face book page... Hair at home with Siobhan, that shows a lot of my work and reviews.
Please also message me if you'd like a price list and my hours of work.
I appreciate you taking the time to read this and look forward to meeting you!
Siobhan

After 14 years setting up and running Mum’s guide to Harpenden, we have decided that the time is right to hand over the reins to someone else. Our children are grown up now, and we feel that for the site to continue to provide the service it does for local families and businesses, as well as grow and thrive into the future, it would benefit from the fresh perspective of a new site manager.
So, we are looking for an individual (or a duo/small group) to take over. First and foremost you have to live in Harpenden, love everything it has to offer for families, and be enthusiastic about knowing what’s going on and keeping up to date with family-related news, businesses and services. You don’t have to be a mum (dads, non-parents or mixed groups are welcome to apply) but we do think that being a parent or carer of young or younger children means you’ll knows best what local parents are looking for, and understand the benefits of having a site like Mum’s guide to Harpenden at your fingertips, just as we did all those years ago. Good communication skills are essential, and of course, some spare time to fit it in!
We have loved running Mum’s guide to Harpenden all these years, and this has not been an easy decision to make, but the time is right now. We’re not going away completely, we’ll continue to manage the Mum’s Guide To brand, overseeing all of our sites as we do at the moment, and we hope that whoever takes it on will get as much out of it and find it as rewarding as we have.
