Flawless Hair and Beauty has brought
weaving to town.
luscious long locks are the latest trend
within the beauty industry and with celeb-
rities such as Nicole scherzinger (below),
shakira, The Kardashians and ariana
Grande gracing the red carpet with thick,
long natural looking hair everyone is ask-
ing themselves ‘how do they do it?’
You may have guessed hair extensions
are involved but not just any type of exten-
sions - weaving is the latest and greatest
way to achieve perfect thick long hair to
style to your hearts content.
we asked Kirsty Barr owner of Flawless
HairandBeautytoexplainmore:“weaving
is when human hair is woven into the cli-
ent’s natural hair, close to the scalp. More
and more celebs are opting for long thick
hair that looks natural and doesn’t put too
much long term strain on the hair that
bad extensions can cause, resulting in the
dreaded bald patches.The best thing about
getting a full head weave is that the hair
can be matched to any colour, length and
texture, which is why a natural look can
be achieved.”
withhairandbeautyyoucan,toacertain
extent, attempt a ‘DIY’job however some
things are best left to the professionals.
Flawless Hair and Beauty, based in
alloa, prides itself on offering a caring yet
professional service with fabulous results.
Kirsty continued: “when someone enters
the salon they can often come in feeling
stressed or have a low self-esteem. That’s
when our relaxing Holistic Treatments
come into their own whether that’s the
reflexology, aromatherapy or facial treat-
ments; which leave our customers feeling
refreshed, happier and most importantly re-
laxed. Being able to give something back
is just one of the reasons why I enjoy my
job so much.”
Currently Flawless Hair and Beauty is
the only establishment in the area to offer
full head weaving for perfect extensions
with an amazing introductory offer of £95
whichincludesconsultation,supply,fitting,
blending and styling. Now you can achieve
flawless looking hair like the celebs with-
out the celebrity price tag.
You may ask yourself how did Flawless
Hair and Beauty become the only destina-
tion for weaving in Clackmannanshire?
Originally Kirsty had the ambition to
set up her own Hair and Beauty business
after completing a HND in BeautyTherapy
at Cumbernauld College and a course in
Hair (level 5 sCQF). Having worked at a
salon for 6 years Kirsty was able to put her
skills into practice and during her studies
she decided to work from home for a year
before settling into 13 lornshill Crescent
in October last year.
Kirsty says: “we are doing well and
offer a variety of services from nail treat-
ments including shellac Nails, st Tropez
tans with a loyalty card offering every
fifth tan free, kids haircuts, make up and
for the perfect beach bod - waxing, as with
all flawless hair and beauty treatments we
only use top quality products ensuring less
pain and a quicker turnaround.”
after completing a course this year on
full head weaving, Kirsty was able to offer
this service: “We find more and more cli-
ents want the look that many of the trendy
celebs go for and we are delighted to be
able to achieve the desired look for our
customers.”
when asked what her ambitions for
Flawless Hair and Beauty are, Kirsty
stated: “The dream is to expand and take
on more staff and hopefully open another
shop in stirling. I want to offer a personal,
caring service as I feel that’s something
that people still appreciate today and per-
haps need more of.”
as with many start-up businesses,
FlawlessHairandBeautywasnoexception
to receiving help from their local Business
Gateway office. “It was excellent having a
business advisor who was easy to approach
and put me in touch with the right people,”
says Kirsty.
Business advisor Michelle Carr added:
“Putting Kirsty in touch with the correct
people was of great benefit. By refer-
ring Kirsty to eddie Reynolds at Youth
Business scotland Kirsty was able to get
financial assistance which was paramount
in getting her business up and running. My
colleagues Matthew wheeler and lesley
Bulbeck from Clackmannanshire works
were able to provide further support on
starting up and with Kirsty being referred
to sarah Fishwick for PR & Marketing she
will continue to receive advice from us as
her business grows.”
