Meet Sally
Behind the Curtain
For over 30 years, Sally O’Neill has worked within the worlds of fashion, beauty and celebrity, where some of the most memorable looks begin behind the scenes. It is this intimate, private world that inspired Behind the Curtain – and Sally’s wish to share it with her clients.
Her atelier in Walton-on-Thames brings together the expertise, discretion and personal attention that have defined her career. A space to feel at ease, enjoy being looked after and discover beautiful hair that feels entirely your own.
“Understanding hair is an art, it’s about texture, movement and the ability to transform not just how we look but how we feel.
Over the years I’ve learnt that the most beautiful hair is often the most effortless. It’s about seeing the individual and creating something that feels completely natural to them”
— Sally O’Neill

Notes from the Chair
“A great cut, thoughtful advice and a genuinely lovely experience.”
A lovely, intimate salon with cool music, great coffee and a relaxed atmosphere. Sally really listened to what I wanted, while also suggesting a few face-framing layers that I absolutely love.
I had highlights and my grey roots smudged, and the result is so natural and flattering that I’ve had loads of compliments.
I’ll definitely be back.

“A truly beautiful experience without ever feeling overwhelming.”
From the moment you walk through the door of Behind the Curtain, you’ll simply never go anywhere else again.
The exquisitely exclusive Parisian style setting makes your usual salon trip a thing of the past. This is a truly beautiful experience without ever feeling overwhelming.
That sense of ease all emulates from Sally – a true style genius who has taught me more about French bobs than I ever thought I needed to know. Turns out I was wrong! Get yourself along – you’ll never look back.

“Sally is a perfectionist, meticulous with every strand of hair, wildly creative”
Behind the Curtain is less salon and more a very well-kept secret where your hair gets the VIP treatment. Sally is a perfectionist, meticulous with every strand of hair, wildly creative and the only person who’s ever made me discuss my hair colour with the strategic rigour of a board meeting.
Add excellent wine, a roaring fire in winter and the general feeling you’ve accidentally wandered into the dressing room of someone much more famous than you – the only salon I’ll ever be going back to.
