Our story

A warm welcome, a proper catch-up, and hair you’ll love

Escape was founded in 2009 by mother-and-daughter team Alison & Ella Burns, and it’s been proudly women-led and family-run ever since. We’re an award-winning, independent salon — the kind of place where you’re greeted by name, made a fuss of, never rushed, and leave feeling like the very best version of you.

Our girls are highly trained and genuinely obsessed with getting it just right, from a subtle root touch-up to a full colour transformation. We’re patient, we listen, and we’re especially known for looking after clients who feel a little nervous or are visiting for the very first time — little ones included.

  • Independent & family-owned since 2009
  • Olaplex & Neal & Wolf premium products
  • Honest advice on colour & upkeep
  • A relaxed, judgement-free chair

Good to know: a skin test is required at least 48 hours before colour and certain treatments, and a small non-refundable deposit secures longer appointments. First time? Just ask — we’ll talk you through everything.

“Had my brows & lip blush done with Alison — I couldn’t fault the experience from start to finish. She explained every step so professionally, and even messaged a week later to check I was happy. If you want your brows or lips doing, Alison is the perfect person to go to.”
