2020 - BRHAIVE OPENS IT’S DOORS AFTER LOCKDOWN 1

During the first lockdown, Leanne used her time spent away from the hair chair to focus on her business plan and the salon hunt began.

The salon she chose for BRHAIVE was actually the place she trained at when she was just 17yrs old… if you believe in fate!

Being brave and taking such a big risk at such a chaotic time proved Leanne’s self belief in herself and the vision she had for her future salon.

Leanne spent the last 6 weeks of the first lockdown revamping her new Salon. She took the good from a difficult situation and focused on devoting her time into building the foundations of BRHAIVE.

By the 4th of July, BRHAIVE was ready to open it’s doors for the first time. Lots of restrictions and covid measures in place, a couple more lockdowns later and a very odd start to running BRHAIVE, but the salon brought support and happiness to so many people within the local community at a time when people needed it the most. Looking back, it was the best time to open a salon with a core focus on wellbeing.
