About
Hello, I’m Cerstie
I opened The Hair Room at Harthill in February 2023, so I could get back to the part of hairdressing I love most: personal, one-to-one appointments and really looking after my clients.
I qualified as a hairdresser in December 2003, and hair has taken me to some pretty special places since. I’ve worked on luxury cruise ships with guests from around the world, become salon manager aboard the Queen Elizabeth and completed a world cruise.
Back on dry land, I owned and grew my own salon in Scarborough and led large salon and spa teams. Now there’s time to listen, give honest advice and create hair that looks beautiful long after you’ve left the chair.

What matters to me
Honest, personal and in it for the long term
Long-term relationships
I love getting to know my clients. I’d much rather plan your hair over time than chase a quick change.
Honest consultations
I’ll always tell you what I think will work for your hair, and what won’t, so you can decide with confidence.
Feeling comfortable
Whether it’s your first colour or your hundredth, I want you to feel relaxed, looked after and completely at home.
