Kimberley Oates
Owner of Simply Stunning | Beauty & Massage Therapist
Hi, I’m Kim,
I have owned Simply Stunning Hair and Beauty for the past 8 years. Previously to having my salon I was a self employed beauty therapist for 2 years, and also worked at a prestigious spa in the Cotswolds.
Since I was in primary school I knew that I wanted to become a beauty therapist, and I am still hugely passionate about the beauty industry.
I thrive on training in new treatments and using new products, and I always try to be as knowledgeable as possible to help my clients and my employees with make up, skincare tips etc.
As a salon owner I strive to bring innovative treatments in to salon and local area.
Personally I have so many favourite treatments, I have spent many years mastering waxing techniques, especially intimate waxing.
I find skin care fascinating and love being able to prescribe the best products for my clients needs. I am very interested in non surgical treatments like CACI facials and Plasma Pen treatments for loose, sagging skin. I also offering Microblading, which is semi permanent make up for your eyebrows.
Most weekends you will find me at a gorgeous wedding venue in the surrounding areas beautifying a bride and bridal party. I love to spend the morning with them, getting them ready and in their dress etc. It’s such a pleasure to be involved with the bridal party.
Laura Price | Senior Stylist
I chose to be a hair stylist whilst still at high school, I always seemed to have a flare for creating different styles.
After qualifying my level 3 apprenticeship I embarked on three contracts sailing onboard international cruise ships. I learnt so much whilst being onboard, especially occasion hair as this was a essential for the captains formal nights.
Now I love nothing more that making my clients feel amazing about themselves. In the salon I specialise in all aspects of hairdressing from colouring and cutting, to barbering and perming. My clients mean the world to me, and I look forward to catching up with them.
One of my specialist skills has to be bridal hair. I enjoy going to many different venues across the country and seeing so many beautiful brides.
Lucy Leach | Senior Stylist
I’m Lucy and I live in the Forest Of Dean.
I have always wanted to be a hairdresser, ever since being a child. I used to cut my Barbie’s hair, and would always be changing the hair my hairdressing dolls head.
I used to have my hair highlighted when I was younger and was always fascinated watching the process.
I started my hairdressing journey with a apprenticeship, and moved on and qualified in the same salon.
When I joined the team at Simply Stunning, I found more confidence from deep inside, and I believe this shines everyday.
I specialise in colouring, especially balayages, and love creating a new cut and style for a client.
I have a beautiful clientele and still love welcoming new clients in to the salon.
