Sarah McKenna

Founder of vixen & blush and the london hair lab

Sarah graduated in 2005 from University College Dublin with a BSc(Hons) in biochemistry and an undergraduate award for research. A career in the pharmaceutical industry in the areas of oncology and diabetes was a natural next step and Sarah worked for 6 years in these fascinating fields of science. However, during this time Sarah discovered a passion for hair extensions. She began to employ her research and development skills in this specialist area of hairdressing and spent 3 years finding a reliable and high-quality source of human hair, before finally opening Vixen & Blush as a one chair salon in 2012.

Armed with this superior quality hair, direct from her suppliers, Sarah was able to offer a more competitive price for expert hair extensions services and the salon grew rapidly through word of mouth.

In 2018 The London Hair Lab was founded as a wholesale hair company so that Sarah could supply hair and training to high-end salons across the UK and the USA, while continuing to grow Vixen & Blush as a leading hair extensions specialist salon in London.

Sarah continues to strive for perfection and wants to provide the safest most discreet and wearable hair extensions for all.
