Hello! 

​

I'm Natalie and I own the Rock'n'Roller Parlour salon based in FarGo Village, Coventry.

​

Back in the days of teenage dreams, my ambition was to be famous in the music industry. After graduating from university, I tried to make it, but simply couldn't find a way in. 4 years later, I decided to go travelling and start from scratch. Whilst away, I had possibly the worst hair breakage that I have encountered, which quite frankly ruined my self confidence for a little while. I looked completely disheveled but not even in the stylish, hipster way! After a few visits to various salons, my hair was finally fixed. I felt elated and like a weight had been lifted. It was on this day that I decided I wanted to become a hairstylist - I wanted to make other people feel good, more like "them" and oozing confidence like I now was.

​

Not long after setting up the Rock'n'Roller Parlour, I realised that Ruby the caravan was becoming more than just a funky hair salon - she was becoming a little spot of trusty goodness. I realised I could reach out, in addition to my wonderful existing clients, to those in particular who suffer with social anxiety.

​

According to the Mental Health Foundation, 1 in 6 young adults experience mental health symptoms per week! It is a huge problem in today's world with anxiety being the second highest form of mental illness. My own personal mission is to make somebody who would usually be terrified of a hair salon environment feel safe, trusted and ultimately good about themselves because their hair feels good. What a wonderful thing to be able to do.. and to call it your career too - it's magic and I wouldn't change it for the world.
