Welcome to our haven of organic beauty, a sanctuary where the essence of nature meets the artistry of hair and skin care. Our founder's journey is not just a story, but the very heartbeat of our salon.
Born and raised in the vibrant land of India, our founder's path to becoming a distinguished hair artist was nurtured by the country's rich tradition of natural beauty. Imbued with the wisdom of using wholesome ingredients for hair and skin, the dream of pursuing hairdressing was sown early, against the backdrop of Mumbai's (formerly Bombay) bustling streets and the esteemed halls of the University of Bombay, where she excelled in Economics and Sociology.
The journey wasn't without its challenges. Stemming from a culture where the arts of hairdressing were underappreciated, especially for women, our founder's unwavering passion led her to the skies as a Flight Attendant. It was more than a job; it was a global expedition, gathering inspiration, knowledge, and funds to fuel her true calling. Her commitment to her passion saw her stepping boldly into the world of hairdressing over two decades ago, marking the beginning of a legacy.
Her first hairdressing salon in Mumbai wasn't just a business; it was a cradle for growth, innovation, and holistic beauty. From nurturing hair to embracing skin care, imparting knowledge in a training school for aspiring artists, to even introducing a tattoo studio, the salon was a symbol of comprehensive beauty and artistry.
The winds of change brought a bold move to the U.K. during challenging times. It was here, in Oxford, with two young daughters by her side, that our founder's resilience shone brightly. Amidst the echoes of recession, she established a thriving salon from the ground up, a testament to her dedication and love for her craft.
Her journey took a transformative turn upon realizing the profound impact of products on our health and environment. This epiphany led to a reinvention, a commitment to organic practices, honed in London's esteemed Organic Hair salons. The pursuit of knowledge became a pursuit of purity, mastering the art of organic hairdressing.
Today, we stand proudly as the pioneers of organic hair care in Oxfordshire. Our Organic Hair Salon is not just a place; it's a manifestation of a dream, a commitment to the well-being of our clients, and a tribute to the planet. We offer an oasis where every product and service is a choice for purity, health, and harmony.
Visiting Leona's salon is a real treat. The cleanse is the most thorough, rejuvenating & relaxing experience ever !

Thank you for revolutionising my idea of a " good haircut" Ruth, Abingdon.
Ruth Barber2024-01-13I have been going to Leona's hair salon in Abingdon since it opened 7 years ago. In all of that time I have always been consistently impressed with the quality of service and professionalism that Leona and her staff show. The salon is like an oasis of peace, where you can genuinely relax and Leona offers a very holistic approach by understanding your needs as a whole person, being aware of your lifestyle and ensuring that your hair cut, style and colour work around your needs. The organic products that are used always leave my hair feeling healthier and more vibrant. I would highly recommend experiencing the treatments that Leona and her beautiful salon offers.
Sreeja Bhaskaran2023-12-16Great, personalised advice and hair cuts for all our family carried out in a friendly, professional manner
Euan Goddard2023-11-01I was in search of a natural hair dyeing salon as I had been applying henna on my hair for almost 15years and didn’t want to use any harsh chemicals. That’s when I discovered Leona. Although it was quite tricky to begin with as I had multiple colours on my hair due the henna, Leona helped get a uniform colour (dark brown) in the first application. She then had to work through my hair to get my final streak look with some reds.it was a laborious process and tiring. She was very patient and explained the whole process in detail, whilst being understanding, as I was anxious ( first time hair colouring). I’m happy and content with the outcome and would definitely recommend Leona. 👍
Bindu Tallapally2023-10-31I am so grateful to Leona, for bringing my dry, damaged hair back to life and now my hair is looking healthy and in great condition again. Thank you 😊💫
Sadie Salamon2023-10-22A woman's hair is indeed her crown and glory, and I cannot express enough how Leona Noronha's Natural and Organic Hairdressing, has truly been a savior for me. After enduring extensive and expensive harsh chemical treatments that left my hair in a sorry state, I was recommended to visit this haven of transformation by a dear friend. Walking into Leona's salon was like stepping into a world of hope and rejuvenation. The salon was beautifully decorated, offering a warm and inviting atmosphere. The soothing music and a comforting cup of tea set the tone for a remarkable experience. What truly stood out was the professionalism displayed by Leona, who took the time to genuinely understand my concerns. Leona's expertise shone through as she presented me with multiple options to restore my hair to its former glory. Her meticulous explanation of each possibility allowed me to envision the stunning outcome. And the final result? It left me absolutely speechless. I never expected such a miraculous transformation. The expertly blended high and low lights breathed new life into my hair, complemented by a beautiful cut and an amazing color that truly liberated my locks. The hair products recommended by Leona, which I continue to use, have had an astounding effect. They have rendered my hair soft, bouncy, and wonderfully manageable. Leona's talent is nothing short of extraordinary. Every pound spent on her services is unquestionably worth it. She has not only restored my hair but also my confidence, and for that, I am immensely grateful. Sharing my after and before pics:)
Lyncz Bekri2023-09-26Leona has been cutting my hair for three years now and I couldn’t be happier. Her organic products are excellent with helpful, informative advice and tips. Highly recommended!
David Melling2023-08-19I have highlighted hair and was searching for an Organic Perm. I had my perm done with Leona yesterday and it is absolutely fabulous!! Thanks Leona
Debbie2023-08-12Leona is simply amazing! I was looking for an all organic and natural hair salon in the area and so glad I found her. As a certified trichologist, she knows hair/scalp very well and able to give you expert advice. She provided me with options along with pros & cons and answered all questions I had to make me feel comfortable. She looks at long term care for your hair so really good to hear her guidance. I'm very happy with my hair and got compliments from everyone. Highly recommended and will definitely be coming back.
Myrella Lauren Durrant2023-08-06It is not an understatement to say that Leona is simply the best hairdresser I have ever seen. Ive lived in UK, Spain and France and have visited many hairdressers. As a trichologist, her knowledge of the hair exceeds a regular hairdresser and her precision, perfectionism, passion, creativity and joy for what she does are all manifested in the final 'product'. I have never felt so happy with my hair and I came out of the salon looking and feeling like a shampoo advert! I can't recommend her highly enough- especially is you are done with loading toxic chemicals on your hair and want a clean, organic and safe hair colour.
