News

We apologise for the very long time lapse in the last news.

The end of the year was extremely hectic, as we have signed a lease for a much bigger premises just around the corner, which we have begun renovations on. We will attach the link for the first YouTube video for the behind-the-scenes work on the new Salon.

We are still keeping our lovely little Salon on Dorking High Street, just two minutes walk away from the new Salon, but we’re gonna aim to keep this original Salon as the bridal side of the business and make it a more boutique bridal salon, and the main salon will be in the new salon.

Here is the link to our new YouTube channel and the first update on our progress!

The team enjoyed an amazing night at the British hairdressing awards at the end of last year, where Teresa finalised for Southern hairdresser of the year (-a dream come true for her), at the Grosvenor House, London, sponsored by Hairdressers Journal and Schwarzkopf.

Sadly, she was pipped to the post by a dear friend of hers for the win, but to get in the top six in the south was an absolute career high for Teresa.

Please see the link below for her beautiful collection, which has now also been entered for the international hairdressing Awards, which is very dear to Teresa. So fingers crossed for that.

We also finalised at the very prestigious Salon Awards at the end of last year for creative image, Best bridal Stylist and best local Salon.

It was an absolutely fantastic evening held at Hotel St Leonards, St Paul's, London. And we won best creative image, and Teresa won best bridal Stylist.

Hit the link below to see all the salon awards news from these awards. This is our 7th award with the Salon awards, including best colour salon and best Customer care award, and we are proud to say that over six years we have won seven awards.

Sadly, Teresa lost her father at Christmas. He was her biggest fan, and of course, she was completely devastated, and this was a big setback, especially just before Christmas with the new Salon build.

However, six weeks on, we are so proud to announce that this week we have news that we have finalised the best local Salon in the very prestigious national Salon business Awards, where we have finalised against many amazing salons in the nation!

It would be amazing to get this award and put Dorking on the map, and Teresa Weller HairArt on the map for the best local Salon.

And on the same day, we got the news that Teresa has finalised in the extremely prestigious Hair magazine awards for best bridal stylist 2025.

She is over the moon. Teresa won this award in 2023 and 2024 and would be over the moon beyond happy to win this in 2025.

The live finals for both awards are held on March 24, and all of our team will attend.

Our Quattro Collection was also featured in Estetica:

We were also on stage for Salon International - I was on stage creating a hair up inspired by my finalist collection for the BHAs, and Irene was on stage the next day creating a cut and colour.

We have a few lovely new team members that have joined in the last few months, as we are growing our team.

So check out the new team members here under team.

Teresa and the team 

Wow! Where did the first half of the year go?  Since we were allowed to reopen on the 12th April we have had a blast transforming everybody’s “lockdown” hair. It has truly been a journey of ups and downs for all of us, we are just so happy to be back doing what we do best, creating fabulous hair!

Since everybody has had the time to decide what style to go for next, we have been busy creating everything you can imagine, from our signature balayages, creative cuts, perms, intricate and technical colour work, total hair re-styles and the transformative Rapture hair extensions. Everyone is feeling more creative than ever!

Whilst we have enjoyed welcoming everyone back into the salon, in view of all the restrictions being lifted on the 19th of July we have decided to continue to provide sanitising stations, temperature checking on entrance, and we will be keeping masks for the staff and ask that our clients continue to wear face coverings when moving around the salon.

We also want to assure you that as our clients we will continue with extra cleaning routines and will continue to use the cleaning products currently in operation. All staff will continue to take lateral flow tests and we would kindly ask that clients do not enter the premises if they are showing any symptoms associated with COVID-19. 

Our online store is still available, and at your disposal with free delivery.  

So whats new?! 

We are so excited that Liv has decided to trainee, having completed her Rapture hair extensions course. Our favourite go to brand of tape in extensions. She is embarking on the path to become a stylist.

We also would like to announce that our amazing front of house Stef is joining Liv in training to be a stylist. She is currently our absolute toning Queen so it is very exciting that she is training. 

And finally… the boss lady! Well Teresa has been the busiest lady of all, from creating a bridal hair course for Stylists globally, to completing a mental health first aid course in her spare lockdown time (MHFA England). Teresa’s work has also made features in Surrey magazine, which includes Nicky Hamilton Jones, the presenter of Ten Years Younger, who recently had her hair styled by Teresa inside Lucinda’s dress shop in Purely, and also in Premier magazine. Pictures and features on Instagram @TeresaWellerHairArt. Teresa has also just entered the British Hairdressing Awards with her Avant Garde collection with photographer, Desmond Murray, all to be revealed soon online and at the salon!

So lastly we thank you for your continued support, Teresa and the team xxx

In light of the year we have all just endured and want to wipe away from our memories, I just wanted to bring a little attention to my starry moments amongst the darkness of 2020.

Despite being locked down 3 times there’s been so many amazing things to look back on

After the first lockdown we really noticed how a sense of community has arisen in Dorking and how that support network has pushed our small businesses on the high street through the year. We have all really looked after each other, I for one want to thank all my loyal clients, local community, friends and my wonderful team for so much support in these dreadful times.

In long periods of isolation It was amazing to know we weren’t alone, we have all gone through this pandemic together, on top of normal life problems

Now for the boasting ........
Despite such a tough year it brings me so much joy to share we won @salonawards for the best bridal hair salon in Surrey for the second year running , this is a national industry awards and a huge credit to our bridal work and our beautiful team, we are over the moon

The awards were virtual of course but it was exhilarating to hear our name read out as the winners !

We also had another front cover on the Christmas issue of @surreylifemagazine amongst 5 pages inside ! Teresa really enjoyed creating all the hair looks amazing for the models on this shoot for the cover back in September, in collaboration with @surreyfrills and @makeupbjana shot at loosely park Guilford

This is now Teresa’s forth front cover in just 18 months amongst countless features and published collections of her work, she is so thrilled to have her work grace the pages and front covers of Surrey magazines

And 2021 is bringing lots more exciting projects!

We are also launching our new online shop we should be ready the first few days of January, you will now be able to order your favourite products including gift boxes and gift vouchers through our online shop for click and collect or local delivery

Lastly! Obviously we were devastated to close 5 days early before Christmas and although we had worked tirelessly round the clock to fit everyone in, we know there’s a lot of our guests that missed out as they were booked in the last few weeks of December.

Once again all those who had bookings that we unable to see due to the sudden tier 4 restrictions will be on the priority list when we are allowed to re open and will be contacted as soon as we possibly can we will be posting on our social media to keep you updated

For now there’s just one more thing to say

Happy new year !!

With love

Teresa and the team ❤

I want to begin by thanking all my amazing clients for obeying the restrictions and being patient with the team when we need to antibac areas. We are taking your safety very seriously and understand that everything right now is uncertain and rather scary. On that note I want to go over our plans for lockdown and the closure of the salon for November.

Homecare packages will be available like last time with home deliveries or collection available. You can now purchase a voucher for your next appointment to secure it and to support us. 

And I know it's early but Christmas is right round the corner and this has been a tough year. Gift boxes with amazing bespoke products are now available to buy or you can now make a personalised gift set for someone who needs it this Christmas. Not only can it include our EKS range but also our new ReStart range which is skincare for hair.

Christmas shopping will be different this year so we want to make it easier on you. Let's make this Christmas about taking care of each other.

On a much more positive note, I am elated to announce that Teresa Weller HairArt has been shortlisted for not one, not two but four categories in Surrey salon awards 2020 I am beyond grateful and want to say thank you to everyone who has supported my business. 

We are finalists in:

Best Salon of the year

Stylist of the year (Teresa Weller) 

Best salon for Bridal hair

Creative image of the year

Stay connected. Stay safe. Stay sane. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Much love Teresa and the HairArt team. 

Since 4th July we literally hit the ground running! 

It was so wonderful to see you all back in the chair with very long hair and long roots! As well as lots of new faces! 

We were apprehensive about wearing the ppe and whilst it was really tough in the extreme heat we have all got used to our masks and visors taking temperatures and anti backing everything all the time! We are proud to be working safely to protect our guests and ourselves.

It is a massive pleasure to introduce not one but two new stylists to the Teresa Weller HairArt team! Stuart and Rhianna now join Teresa and Millie on the salon floor with Steffie looking after reception and our lovely Phil on social media. 

Stuart had his own salon in Epsom which he decided to close to be nearer to home, Sasoon trained with 20 years in the industry he brings his edgy sharp cuts and striking colours to the salon team. 

Rhianna just qualified, brings her overwhelming passion for everything hair and beautiful personality alongside her love of edgy on trend colours and she has already joined Teresa on a few magazine shoots! Watch this space - and this winter as a team we are going to shoot our first salon collection! 

And whist on the subject of shoots Teresa’s work graced the pages and front cover of @SurreyLife magazine September edition when she worked on the hair of five beautiful local celebrities promoting boutique fashion houses in our beautiful surrey hills In collaboration with @surreyfrills style experts! The shoot was in 36 degrees in the exquisite location of Silent Pool. 

As if this wasn’t exciting enough Teresa was then invited to create the hair for new band @kingsdaughters for their new single, Dancing in the Rain produced by legend Brian May! Talia and the team were so happy with Teresa’s creative eye and this beautiful fairy princess look for the video was created using hair extensions and lots of curls on another incredibly hot day @silentpoolgin. 

The video and their first live performance can been seen via YouTube link on Tuesday 29th September at 8pm.

We cannot wait to watch! With our first salon video being streamed live in the break.

And with a Dorking strong team of creatives including @surreyfrills @makeupbyjanauk @flowersbyelaine @mayflowerspa behind the video we are hoping for masses of chart success for this beautiful and talented band.

Thought for the month!

Staying positive and staying safe whist creating beautiful hair! 

Much love 

Teresa

We are delighted to announce the news from Tuesday 23rd June by the government that we can re open our beautiful doors on Saturday 4th July.

On our lovely Dorking high street, and boy have we missed our beautiful high street.

Our online booking system is back open and we are already fully booked for the first two weeks of July and we can’t wait to welcome you back - so please get booking to avoid disappointment!

Things are going to look a little different when you visit us. 

Firstly, we will be wearing our PPE and will check your temperature when you arrive using a contactless thermometer - this protects all of our clients, you and us.

We will then give you your PPE and begin your hair service and create beautiful hair for you again.

For now we will not be serving hot refreshments just water, however please feel free to grab a coffee from one of our lovely local coffee shops and bring it with you.

Our appointment times and working hours will be longer and there are breaks set in-between appointments for cleaning our work spaces and the salon, so please be patient as things may take a little longer.

Also please be honest - if you have applied home colour during lockdown your appointment time will be longer and we will need time to correct, we can only provide the service that you have been booked in for due to our strict appointment times.

If you need to pop in and purchase products please ring us ahead so we can prepare this order for you in advance.

We have removed the waiting area to minimise people in the reception area and we would prefer if you payed by BACS transfer in advance for your service again to avoid contact at reception.

We can re book you whist we are working on your hair.

We have been busy during lock down carrying our risk assessments according to government guidelines and COVID awareness courses with professional hairdressing bodies.

Teresa would like to personally thank all our lovely loyal clients for their continued love, support and well wishes during this incredibly difficult time.

And to all that have purchased vouchers or have been taking advantage of Teresa’s bespoke local delivery service, it’s been fun chatting on your driveways at social distance.

Teresa would also like to give special thanks and a massive shout out to @HelloDorking for having her host her lockdown hair tips live every Saturday for these last few months, they have been so much fun and so wonderful to be a part of the BID and our local community 

Lastly huge thanks to Mole Valley for Business (@mvdcbusiness) for so much prompt help and support 

Now for the fun part; let’s get you booked in and see you REALLY SOON 

Much love

I’m a little late with my news blog this month as it’s been CRAZY 

I can only compare opening the salon to having a new baby, now 8 weeks in I’m finally catching my breath...... this could be that at the same time of the opening the doors, my new Avante Garde collection that graces the walls of the new salon also did grace the pages of professional hair magazine Tribu-te amongst other trade and high end mags across the South, London and nationally . Now I’m told the collection is going over seas - —— watch this space! 

I’ve also had reviews and writes ups in Surrey life mag and Leatherhead advertiser, this has caused a bit of a media frenzy with photographers visiting almost every other day!!

Now that’s all calmed down I can safely say I’m in the swing of Salon life on Dorking High street and I’ve met some amazing people! And I’m also so grateful for all the wonderful feedback from new and existing clients.

On a very wet and rainy Sunday the 14th October I held the official launch party which was a massive success thanks to my family and friends really helping me out on the day - I showcased five models with a party / avante feel to their hair and enjoyed a glasses of fizz with everyone.

Massive thanks to Juan and Jeff from Seventa makeup academy for coming down to the salon to do makeup for the models and a few guests.

Brooklands Radio's presenter Ivana O’brian came along and interviewed lots of my guests including local businesses. She was once again a fabulous presenter bringing out the best in people.

The launch was broadcast on a woman’s hour special last week Friday 2nd Nov, you can listen here to the podcast.

Last but not least lovely Shannon joined me a few weeks ago - I met her a few years back when she restyled my hair and I knew she had a lot of magic about her.

Since she’s been with me I’ve been astounded by the quality of her colour correction work and beautiful balayages and she brings so much positive energy and fun to the salon 

So now the dark nights are here and the winter months are looming pop by to the salon and lets get your hair Christmas ready eek!!!

Thought for the month 

It’s just around the corner ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Much love
