The history of Olive & Orchard
Founded in 2024, Olive & Orchard represents the epitome of luxury and prestige. The salon is an extension of the renowned family-owned South Causey Inn, which has a rich history dating back to 1980 when it started as an Equestrian Centre. The center was home to over 100 horses and served as a distinguished establishment where many learned the art of horse riding.
Olive & Orchard is located in one of the original stable blocks at the Equestrian Centre, a place of great historical significance. This space was later converted into a brewery where the South Causey Inn's specially crafted beer was produced for its bar and restaurant. Today, this space is home to the beautiful Olive & Orchard hair & beauty salon.
Our team at the Salon comprises six exceptional individuals, each driven by a shared passion for providing unparalleled warmth, friendliness, and professional service. We are dedicated to ensuring that every guest at Olive & Orchard experiences the ultimate in luxury and hospitality.
MEET THE TEAM
With over 30 years of experience in the field, I have been practicing hairdressing since the age of 16. Throughout my career, I have worked in numerous reputable salons across Newcastle. I am passionate about creating a wide range of styles, I have a deep appreciation for all aspects of hairdressing. My expertise spans from traditional to contemporary styles, and I have acquired extensive knowledge in hair colouring through my many years of dedicated practice.
I have been doing hairdressing since I was 16, starting from my apprenticeship at Whickham and later at Regis in Fenwick. Throughout my career, I have honed my skills in various aspects of hairdressing, with a particular passion for creating beautiful highlights and balayage. I thrive on challenges and am dedicated to providing exceptional service to all my clients.
Over a decade ago, I embarked on my professional journey in the hair and beauty industry, initially obtaining qualifications as a hairdresser. Now, in addition to providing nail and beauty treatments, I have advanced to become a level 7 advanced aesthetics practitioner. I take great pride in utilising The Gel Bottle products, particularly BIAB, due to the exceptional results our clients consistently achieve with it.
With over a decade of experience in the beauty industry, I have had the privilege of working in diverse settings including salons, 5-star spas, and premium beauty retail outlets. My passion lies in skincare, and I take great pleasure in delivering our signature treatments such as the bespoke million dollar facials and aromatherapy candle massages.
