GENERAL MANAGER

Carolyn comes from the UK and joined Roots in January 2018 and came from an illustrious career in the hospitality business having worked in some of the top 5-star hotels and restaurants in London.  Carolyn has an amazing attention to detail and has worked hard with all the staff at Roots to make them understand the importance of giving the best customer service to every customer every time they visit the salon.  She also has many ideas to make everyone – both customers and staff – feel incredibly special.  Since she has come on board the Roots brand has grown incredibly and it is now known as the best hair and beauty salon in Qatar and won the OhLaLa Award for Best Beauty Salon 2018.  We were a finalist in the GCC Beauty Professional Awards 2019 for Best Hair and Beauty Salon in the Middle East.  2018 has been a huge year of growth for Roots thanks to her efforts and drive and we hope to keep growing.

Carolyn has branched out in very innovative directions by supporting small businesswomen and putting them in touch with those who can help them.  We hold workshops, pamper evenings, Giving Back, Giving Hope (supporting women with cancer) and have had our first Self- Care Fashion Show 2019 – all of which have been so well received and given Roots a reputation for supporting women in the community through our events and our ethos.

Carolyn has a daughter, Jasmin, who lives in the UK and they are both passionate about horses.  Her dream is to own her own Equestrian Centre one day.

Carolyn loves living in Qatar and has had the opportunity to meet so many wonderful women.  She feels everyone in Qatar is lucky to be here and witness the amazing changes in the country as well as experience some incredible events.

Calling herself a Londoner through and through, Lauren was one of the first stylists to join Roots when it opened in 2015 – she loves her clients, loves Doha and says she has no plans to leave anytime soon.  Lauren has an outgoing bubbly personality and has over 15 years’ experience in the hair industry.  Her passion is hair and she specializes in Afro Caribbean hair, long curly blowouts, extensions and she has studied the Science of Hair Trichology in London.  Lauren’s favorite service is her Blow Dry and she is brilliant at creating any style with her brush that can last for days.  Our clients have to book well in advance because Lauren is always in demand.

Having been the longest serving member of staff, Lauren lives and breathes Roots Hair & Beauty’s Vision and Mission and supports both Debbie and Carolyn in the Management of Roots and coaches all other members of staff by example because Lauren provides outstanding customer service to all her clients every time.

Lauren believes that “being a hair stylist gives her the chance to be the person to make others feel special”.  Her favorite service is anything that puts a smile on someone’s face.  She says having fun at the same time is an added bonus.  Lauren relishes working at roots because of the personal touch the salon offers by concentrating on the clients’ needs.  She loves the salon’s clean simplicity and colours and says it is a great place to work as everyone is so welcoming.

SENIOR HAIR STYLIST

Hairdressing is in Jayde’s blood. She was born with scissors in her hand and from an early age she knew she would make a living this way.

After spending 10 years working in Edinburgh learning the latest fashions and trends, Jayde came to Doha to get a more international view on hair styling. Jayde was a finalist in the L’Oreal Colour Trophy, which is a fantastic achievement in the hair industry and she has incredible hands that can turn any type of hair-up into a work of art. You can see some of her creations on our Facebook Page.

Jayde describes Roots as an “international salon where glamour can become a reality”. She loves its constant research of beauty, perfection and style. Jayde particularly enjoys seeing the whole transformation from start to finish, especially how colour and cut work together. She says “there is nothing better than seeing a look turn into something spectacular from shampooing to the finishing touches of styling”.

Jayde is a fan of her new home in Doha and she says you should go to Neo on the Salwa Road and enjoy the Maki Patters or all the sushi you can eat for only QR150 – sounds great value.
