Meet Our Team

Sam

Sam

Owner of Dudes n' Dolls

Sam is the owner of Dudes n’ Dolls, and has found herself alone in this role since her business partner and son’s father sadly suddenly died in 2019.

This hasn’t stopped her becoming a girl boss of a growing collection of businesses. 

A people person to her core, she counts her lucky stars to have the privilege to work with a team of enthusiastic, dedicated and all-round-brilliant people.

Sam lives life at 150mph, flying between work, Southampton where her eldest son Jaden plays football, Mum life, having fun with her youngest Son Rio and occasionally out with her friends

Her strengths include an extreme drive to have everything perfect, right now.

Her weaknesses include an extreme drive to have everything perfect, right now!

Salon Supervisor and Senior Therapist

Hello! My name is Emily!

Emily joined us in May 2024 and has brought such a wonderful breath of fresh air with her into the Salon.

Expect a bubbly welcome and made to feel a million dollars as soon as you arrive. Nothing is ever too much trouble. This girl has endless energy and is such a joy to be around.

Emily is extremely knowledgeable, kind, caring, with her glass always half full. With over 14 years of salon experience, you are in safe hands.

In my spare time, I enjoy going on walks, meals with my friends (mainly Nando’s) and spending time with my family!

Hi, I’m Lauren, 🌺

Lauren joined us in Summer 2024 and is a huge hit already!

Her attention to detail is next level, and has settled in within the team perfectly! If you want a fab set of nails, then you’re in safe hands! 

I am fully qualified in nails and am really enjoying being able to show off my “natural talent” (this is what Emily says) for nails in the salon.

Lauren has almost completed her Level 3 in beauty and is in the salon every Saturday.

I love doing nails, I love the transformations and how happy clients feel after.

In my spare time I enjoy going on dog walks and spending time with my friends and family.
