Hi, I’m Shanice, the founder of Shanice Neal Hair. Since 2011, I’ve been committed to bringing the highest standard of hair and scalp care to my clients, combining my passion for wellness with a luxury experience. In September 2024, I opened my private studio to offer a more personal, one-to-one approach to hair and scalp health, blending relaxation with advanced techniques.
My journey into hairdressing started unexpectedly. One day, I walked past a salon and heard music playing outside and thought to myself “what a fun place to work”. So I walked in, asked for a job, and started my apprenticeship the very next day. I had no idea then how rewarding it would be to make people feel confident and uplifted through hairdressing. Over the years, I’ve honed my expertise to offer treatments that not only enhance your look but also nurture your wellbeing. With a focus on advanced hair techniques and headspa treatments, I provide more than just a service—I create a safe space for transformation, indulgence, and true relaxation.
If you’re ready to experience the best in personalised hair and scalp care, I’d love to welcome you to my studio. Book a consultation or appointment today, and let’s start your journey to feeling your absolute best.
Here’s a little twist – my mum is a hairdresser too. She used to do hair from home when I was growing up, and I’d sit and watch, not realising that one day I’d fall in love with the industry myself. Funny how life works out, isn’t it?
I’ve been in the industry since 2009 (qualifying in 2011), and it took years to build the knowledge I have today. I’ve always been a creative mind – I even went to college after school to study art. And though I didn’t see myself doing hair back then, I feel like I was drawn back to the hair world and I’ve become deeply passionate about what I do. Learning continuously has given me great pleasure, knowing I can share knowledge with my clients and offer them the best services possible.
I’m a bit of a perfectionist. Early in my career, I used to have severe anxiety when it came to bleaching as I was aware of the damage bleach could cause if not used correctly. Safe to say, I’m really happy the world is hot on hair health these days! But I wouldn’t be the technician I am now without knowing so clearly what results I did not want to provide! I went down the hair health rabbit hole, doing course after course and came out with the goods!
Now, I own my own space in Rochester, Kent, providing my favourite services to clients I absolutely adore. It’s been an incredible journey, and I love every moment of it.
Now that you know me a little better, I hope you feel comfortable putting your relaxation time in my hands and the confidence to allow me loose on your hair! I’m here to ensure you leave feeling empowered and refreshed. Check out my services and prices, and book your appointment today. I can’t wait to meet you!
Please note that I operate on an appointment-only basis.
