Inside Newcastle’s newest luxury salon by the 2025 Hairdresser of the Year
- Advertisement Feature
Stepping into Jesmond’s newest luxury salon, Hair by LMN, feels like entering a calm, sunlit sanctuary tucked away from the energy of the city.
Created by award-winning stylist Lyndsey Nichol, recently crowned North East Hairdresser of the Year 2025 at The North East Hair and Beauty Awards, this salon is the culmination of a lifelong dream – one shaped by passion, resilience and more than two decades of industry experience.
A well-known name across Newcastle upon Tyne, Lyndsey has built her reputation on exceptional colour work, precision styling and a genuine, friendly approach. But above all, she is committed to creating a salon where everyone feels welcome.
“So many salons can feel intimidating,” she explains.
“Clients often feel they need to look a certain way or have a certain number of followers. Hair by LMN is the complete opposite – I want every single person to feel cared for and comfortable from the moment they walk in.”
A LUXURY AESTHETIC WITH HEART
Located in a beautiful old townhouse on Osborne Road, the salon blends luxury with warmth. High ceilings and a sweeping bay window fill the room with natural light, highlighting glossy marble floors, terracotta-toned feature wall and rustic textures. Clay vases overflowing with soft foliage add an earthy warmth, while sleek, modern lighting enhances the tranquil atmosphere.
Touches of indulgence include brand new copper Dyson Airwrap, plush seating and carefully curated décor, creating a soothing, high-end retreat you can truly unwind in.
THE COFFEE, FIZZ AND CAKE BAR
Nothing says self-care like coffee, cake and fizz, right? Central to the LMN experience is the signature coffee & cake bar. Enjoy freshly baked scones, seasonal cakes, croissants and charming LMN branded biscuits as you get your colour done. From barista-style coffees and luxuriously rich hot chocolates to prosecco and wine, every detail is crafted to elevate your appointment into a moment of self-care.
EXPERT COLOUR & HAIR EXTENSIONS
With 19 years of experience – beginning as a Saturday girl at TONI&GUY and later training as a Wella Colour Expert – Lyndsey has mastered every aspect of hairdressing, though colour has always been her greatest passion. Her skillset spans beautifully blended balayage, sun-kissed highlights, expert colour corrections, precision cutting, and perfectly integrated long-hair and extension work.
Known for her meticulous eye and gentle, tailored approach, she creates seamless, natural-looking finishes that elevate each client’s features while keeping the hair healthy, glossy and full of life.
THE NORTH EAST HAIRDRESSER OF THE YEAR 2025
Winning North East Hairdresser of the Year 2025 was a defining moment. “Winning three awards in one night was one of the best moments of my life,” she says. “To know people took the time to nominate me – it’s the biggest honour.”
Her dedication and hard work shine through in every detail of the salon and every client experience.
