GLOW Hair Studio Rutland, 34 High St, Oakham, Rutland, LE15 6AL
GLOW Hair Studio Rutland is a hair salon located in a historic building on Oakham's High Street. The building itself, known as Flores House, has a fascinating history dating back to the 14th century.
Flores House is believed to have been built by William Flore, who served as the Controller of the Works of Oakham Castle from 1373 to 1380. His son, Roger Flore, went on to become a prominent figure in English politics, serving as Speaker of the House of Commons four times between 1416 and 1422.
The house passed through various hands over the centuries, and in the 19th century it was divided into two separate dwellings. In recent years, however, the building had fallen into disrepair.
The current owners of GLOW Hair Studio, saw the potential in Flores House and embarked on a major restoration project. They carefully restored the building's original features.
The result is a stunning building that is both stylish and historically significant. GLOW Hair Studio itself is a welcoming and friendly salon that offers a wide range of hairdressing services. The salon's interior is a mix of contemporary and traditional styles.
