Debbie, owner of Applebom hair salon

Hey there, I'm Debbie

I'm the owner of Applebom, a beautiful, serene studio with specialist hair services for women.

I've been behind a salon chair for decades, chasing trends and learning every texture under the sun. About 15 years ago I fell head-over-heels for natural, organic hair care—especially the wild beauty of curly locks. I've spent the last few years exploring my passion for natural curly hair and have extensive training with Wavy, Curly, and Afro hair.

Recently my focus has changed—it wasn't just a career shift; it was personal. I started seeing so many women, including friends, battle thinning hair and loss. I know how heavy that can feel, how every strand can tug at your confidence.

That's why I poured my heart into mastering Hair Toppers. They're not just pieces of hair; they're a gentle bridge to feeling whole again—whether it's from pattern baldness, hormones, nutrition, burns, surgery, trichotillomania, menopause, alopecia or chemo. I've walked the path with my clients, celebrating every smile that returns.

If any of that strikes a chord with you, I'd love to set up a private try-on. Let's find the perfect fit together.

With lots of warmth,
Debbie

Meet Jacqueline

As a stylist, I've always been driven by a passion for creativity and a desire to make my clients feel amazing. With over 30 years in the industry, I've honed my skills in creative colour, cutting, and curly hair.

I believe that great hair is about more than just looks—it's about feeling confident and empowered.

I'm passionate about bringing out the best in every hair type, especially curly hair. I love the art of curly hair cutting—working with the natural texture to create movement, shape, and flow is incredibly rewarding.

Coaching clients through their hair journey is just as fulfilling. I believe great hair goes beyond looks—it's about feeling confident and empowered. That's why I take the time to understand each client's unique needs, crafting bespoke styles that reflect their individuality.

Whether you're looking for colour, a curly cut, or curly hair guidance, I'm here to help you shine.
