‘Karen has been the most wonderful hairdresser to my Mum, who had a severe stroke 9 months ago. Despite Mum being restricted to a wheelchair and with very limited communication skills, Karen gives her a therapeutic session each time, from washing her hair to the blow-dry. Karen is very adaptable, caring understanding and respectful to Mum’s conditions and I am certain the sessions boost Mum’s confidence and in turn, help her in her recovery.’

Debbie — Daughter  of Joyce (Client)

‘Karen is kind, considerate and has an ability to put her clients at ease. I have worked with her in the Care Setting and her empathy and knowledge of Dementia Care shows in her holistic approach. I have been so impressed that I have entrusted my own Mother to her. I always know when Karen has been, as her hair looks fantastic and as my Mother says ‘My friend has been’ – her spirits lifted. I could not recommend Karen more highly.’

D Nicol – Activity Co-ordinator

‘Karen at Hair, Care & Dementia does more than hairdressing, she gives her clients friendship back. An outstanding hairdresser, showing so much patience & care, making her clients feel valued.’

Bernie — Carehome Colleague
