About

Hi, I’m Jan. I provide a range of professional hair cutting, colouring and treatment services at my boutique salon based within my home in Blackwater, Surrey, which I opened in 2018.

Where It All Began…

Jan’s Hair Affair was founded by me in 1996. With a young family at the time, I wanted a job that provided flexible working, so I became self-employed and travelled to clients’ homes to do their hair. This was a great experience, as I loved getting to know clients and making them feel fantastic in their own environment.


I enjoyed this for many years until I was fortunate enough to create my boutique hair salon in 2018, and a new chapter of Jan’s Hair Affair began!


When Covid hit us in 2020, it gave me the time to work on my business, and I implemented a complete reset and rebranding of Jan’s Hair Affair, developing it into the salon it is today.


I have loved creating a calm, relaxing space for clients to come and enjoy their hair transformation or regular maintenance. For a more personal experience I have one client at a time, so I can give my complete attention to helping you leave feeling fantastic.

Accreditations

I joined the Freelance Hair Association (FHA) around 2001. The FHA is an organisation created for the freelance hairdresser and it was a real game changer.


Over the years, being a member has given me the opportunity to develop my skills by training with high profile hairdressers and companies to keep up to date with products and new techniques and stay connected with other freelance hairdressers. I have to say I love a bit of education!

My Hobbies

In my free time my first love is spending time with my family; my three grown up children, their partners and my increasing number of grandchildren, who keep me young at heart and give me the excuse to do fun and childish things. Luckily my bottom still fits down a slide!


One of my passions is walking, especially on a lovely sunny day, chatting to either a walk buddy or with a group. Walking is a great mood booster, especially when there are breath-taking views to enjoy! My ambition is to become a walk leader for the Ramblers and escort holiday guests on walks in various locations at home or abroad. I have had some hair raising moments on some of my walks but they make long lasting memories.


In recent years I have taken up dress making and upholstery. Dressmaking is fast becoming another passion of mine. It is fantastic to become completely absorbed in a project and very satisfying to produce a beautiful unique garment. I have even built my own sewing table!


I am looking forward to welcoming you into my salon and getting to know you.
