Why Upper Mead’s Hair Salon Stands Out
Our on-site hair salon is designed around each resident’s comfort and preferences. With a calm, uplifting atmosphere and fully accessible facilities, the salon offers a relaxing space where residents can enjoy personalised haircare at their own pace. From simple trims to special styling, every appointment is centred on individual needs and choices.
Our friendly, professional team is always nearby to offer support, conversation, and reassurance, helping residents feel confident and cared for throughout their visit. The salon plays an important role in promoting wellbeing, boosting self-esteem, and giving residents a chance to enjoy a little pampering in a warm and welcoming setting.
Welcome to Upper Mead, our warm and welcoming home-from-home in the historic village of Henfield. Set in a quiet spot at the heart of the community, we’re known for exceptional care and a team that always goes the extra mile to help residents live life to the fullest.
I joined the care profession while raising my children and found my calling in dementia care here in 1996. After years of supporting others and leading our dementia unit, I became home manager in 2013. With over 25 years at Upper Mead, a Level 5 Diploma, and two outstanding awards, I’m proud to lead a team that truly cares.
Together, we support our residents with the same kindness and dedication we’d give our own families.
