Meet the Founder
Lady Diane Shawe – The Visionary Behind the Brand
Lady Diane Shawe is a multi-award-winning entrepreneur, educator, and author with over 25 years of experience in the hair and beauty industry.
"She founded Need a Hair Makeover after overcoming a deeply personal battle with hair loss due to illness in 1996. With no dignified help available, she turned adversity into innovation—training herself, developing groundbreaking techniques, and ultimately launching specialist salons focused on hair extensions and non-surgical hair loss solutions."
Diane's journey has inspired thousands. She's served clients across the UK and Europe—including pop icon Katy Perry—and has pioneered over 18 hair extension techniques. In 2016, she launched the Need a Hair Makeover Franchise, giving other professionals a proven model to replicate her success.

"This place is amazing! I was nervous and within minutes was at ease. Time taken and I got exactly what I wanted - extensions and hair were thinning. Diane is lovely, explaining what she was doing. The hair is the colour I wanted, she looks at how to style to face. If you're losing hair or going thin and don't know what to do, go to this lady. Would highly recommend!"

"I feel reborn! Customer service was impeccable. I just want to thank Diane. I feel reborn. I can't express how grateful I am. In a time of grief and sadness as I have to bury my uncle next week, she has given me hope and faith. Thank you."
