LOX OF
LOVE’S LEAP
OF FAITH
An ambitious hair stylist has tapped into a niche
market by opening an exclusive hair extension
studio on Aycliffe Business Park.
Newtonian Victoria Cartwright launched Lox
of Love 18 months ago, offering a mobile hair
extension service to clients across the NorthEast.
But after winning a deal to become an official
stockist of world-renowned, award-winning
brand, Halo Hair, she has taken the leap to open
her first premises and take on a member of
staff.

For Victoria, she's rekindling ambitions of
starting her own company after completing a
business degree at Teesside University. Tamsin
is also a Teesside University graduate and a
Newtonian.
"One of my biggest selling points is that I'm a
fully-qualified hairdresser. Hair extensions can
look hideous if not done properly, and there are

extension firms out there and there's also a
whole heap of horror stories," said Victoria.

can be applied in minutes to add length and/or
volume to most hair styles.
Victoria added: "They looked at our customer
feedback and gallery of before-and-after
pictures and decided they were happy for
our brand to represent theirs.
"Halo Hair has won all sorts of awards for hair
and beauty and innovation and is now
an international brand."
"We focus on quality, I think that's why word
has spread so quickly about the business. I
have built up a client base from all over the
North-East, but Aycliffe is on my doorstep and
perfectly located."
Lox of Love's official open day is at Unit 6,
Evans Business Centre, Aycliffe Business
Park, from 2pm on Saturday 24th May,
where there will be discounts, offers and
competitions.
