Why do you choose to work with organic products? 
Working so closely with products everyday it’s important to me to minimise as many nasties as possible, and I am conscious of the environmental benefits.

What's your favourite thing about working at Glasshouse? 
I love the attention to detail, from the calming and inviting space to the location and of course the high quality products and services.

Where is your favourite local hang out?
I love wandering along the canal on a sunny day and browsing all the cute cafes and shops on Broadway Market.

What’s in your beauty bag?
SPF is an essential and Evolves face cream with SPF 30 is a current favourite! I also always have a lipgloss or balm at hand and the RMS Lip2Cheek comes in so many fun shades, making them perfect to switch between depending on my mood. Other than that, when being a hairdresser, you're in need of a good hand cream and the Austin Austin hand cream is always a lifesaver!

What do you like to do to unwind?
A long hot bath with candles and a face mask, a fresh blow dry, a good book, no screen time and a walk without any distractions; bonus points if it’s somewhere by the sea.

Why do you choose to work with organic products?

I live a holistic and organic lifestyle myself and felt that the next step was to bring this into my work life. Using and being around as much products as I am each day, I made the health conscious decision to use cleaner and healthier ingredients for myself and for my clients.

What's your favourite thing about working at Glasshouse?

I love working with likeminded individuals who share the same lifestyle choices as I do. Both the staff and clients bring a beautiful energy to the salon creating an amazing environment to spend my workday in.

What's your favourite local hang out?

I love anywhere that plays live music so I can have a sing and dance! I also love spending time in Victoria Park as it brings me peace being in nature.

What's in your beauty bag?

I always keep a herbal tea with me as I believe beauty starts from within. I also keep the Palm Of Feronia Detox Mask in my bag to clarify my skin after working in London. The RMS mascara is a favourite of mine as it gives such a volumizing look whilst still looking and feeling natural.

What do you do to unwind?

I meditate 2-3 times a day and I love spending time outdoors with nature, whether this is cold water swimming in the sea or long forest walks. I love moving and taking care of my body so I spend a lot of time exercising and practicing yoga as it connects mind and body while brining me peace and happiness.

Why do you choose to work with organic products?
Learning about organic products has changed my hairdressing experience, the products are so much more gentle, not only on clients skin and scalp but also for my skin when working with these products.

What's your favourite thing about working at Glasshouse?
My favourite thing about working at Glasshouse is the environment and the people. The space feels so calming and peaceful compared to other salons and the people and clients I work with are amazing. It makes coming to work so enjoyable and motivates me to be the best version of myself!

Where is your favourite local hang out?
Mare Street Market - great vibes and a nice outdoor area. 

What’s in your beauty bag?
I always have a tube of Austin and Austin Hand Cream to keep my hands protected from the cold weather and it also smells amazing! I also love the Oway Rebuilding Hair Mask - it always leaves hair feeling soft and silky. 

What do you like to do to unwind - do you have any self care rituals?
I love a long hot shower before doing my skincare and laying in bed with a good book, fresh bed sheets and pyjamas. I also like to journal and always remind myself of everything I’m grateful for, this keeps me in a positive mindset.

Olivia is the founder and director of Glasshouse Salon and a holistic facialist, Systematic Kinesiologist, SKHM & Reiki practitioner. She launched the salon in 2013 after wanting to bring natural, organic and ethical hair and beauty to a wider audience, and has now extended this to include the therapy room after training in systematic kinesiology, holistic facials and a variety of other healing modalities and energy medicine. A trained hair stylist and New Zealand native, Olivia worked freelance as a hair stylist for top publications. The Glasshouse concept from born when Olivia experienced a surprising lack of organic and wellbeing focused salons that put hair condition above everything else. Olivia oversees the Glasshouse Collective, ensuring our private association maintains the highest standards of holistic beauty and technical excellence whilst juggling family life with her young daughter.

Why do you choose to use organic products?

There are so many great benefits to working with more natural and organically based products, my initial attraction over 15 years ago was from a health perspective. Using fewer potentially harmful chemicals and including more gentle, natural ingredients is important to me not only for my own wellbeing but for my staff and clients’. The ethos of Glasshouse Salon has a big focus on hair condition - our products minimise compromise on the hair whilst colouring and we are able to repair damaged hair on the same day - which is very unique to the Organic Colour Systems brand. When we are gentler with the hair we can achieve better, more long-lasting colour results. I also love to support local, independent brands with their ethos in the right place - everything we sell in the salon and online at Glasshouse Shop has been carefully selected for their ethical principles, unique formulas and high performance. As an independent business owner, I wouldn’t have it any other way.

You’ve recently moved the Collective from a creative hub to a private sanctuary. What sparked that change?

After a decade in the energy of Netil House, I felt a deep pull toward a quieter, more intentional space. Moving to our own sanctuary on Mare Street allowed us to truly embrace the Private Members Association model. It’s no longer about being 'loud' in the city; it’s about providing a focused, private retreat for our members to experience organic hair health and spiritual wellbeing.

Following your recent move, how do you find balance away from the city?

The ultimate fix for me is to get into nature. Residing in Sussex between the coast and the forest, I’ve traded the city’s pace for sea air and rambling in the countryside with my daughter. When I’m not by the water, I find stillness through rituals at home—clearing the space with my favourite ritual, such as the therapeutic process of meditation and writing, gua sha and facial massage or the use of a favourite candle or oil (currently Wood by Homework). It’s this connection to the elements and personal wellbeing that I bring back to the sanctuary at Glasshouse; it reminds me why we prioritise clean chemistry and a gentler, more intentional approach to beauty.

What’s in your beauty bag?

I’m often on the go which means practicality is a must when it comes to makeup. I always carry around an RMS Lip2Cheek and their “Un” Cover-Up - they’re small and versatile; ideal for a quick touch-up. At home, I’ve been loyal to Organic Colour Systems’ Power Build Shampoo for almost twenty years now. It’s an effective protein-based shampoo but the natural ingredients, gentle pH and sulphate-free formula mean it’s perfect as a body wash too. I do regular hair treatments with Organic Colour Systems’ Power Build Revamp - not just because it’s brilliant at maintaining hair condition but also because it’s a nice treat to spend 15 minutes by myself in the bath, especially with the demands of being a mum.
