About Us
Founded by Desiree Djanie, Vegan Hair Salon UK is more than a salon – it’s a movement for sustainable, inclusive, and expert-led beauty. With over two decades of experience, Desiree brings science, artistry, and compassion to every service.
Our clinic is fully vegan-certified, cruelty-free, and sustainability-certified since 2019. We’ve been recognised for our multicultural expertise, eco-design, and commitment to serving all hair textures and skin types.
Our mission is to redefine beauty through expert care, inclusive values, and conscious choices.
Where Ethical Beauty Meets Clinical Expertise
At Vegan Hair Salon UK, we blend the ethical elegance of a vegan lifestyle with advanced trichological care, delivering not just beautiful hair, but elevated clinically-backed scalp and hair health.
Work With Me
With a foundation in Human Resources Management: Learning & Development (MSc) and years of experience as an educator, international speaker, and advanced hair, scalp, and skin specialist, I partner with organisations and institutions to build awareness, connection, and impact.
My work brings together cultural and educational expertise with lived experience, supporting companies, schools, and communities to engage more meaningfully with conversations around hair, culture, identity, and ethnicity.
I also consult directly with professional hair and beauty practitioners and salons, helping them remain legally compliant with health and safety requirements and meet the national occupational standards within hair and beauty.
Below are the ways we can work together to bring value to your organisation.
