Our Story

With over 30 years of combined international experience in Hairdressing, Tom Smith and Chris Donohue announced the launch of AEVUM in August 2025 - an industry-first, Hair Health focused Salon, designed to drive forward the future of hair.

With a shared personal interest in ‘beauty that runs deeper than surface level’, it became clear that the traditional salon experience had become out-dated and an opportunity to create a new experience arose. For the first time, a 360 Hair Protocol is available under one roof, from DNA Trichotesting to the latest that science has to offer in hair repair, your hair will be supported like never before.

In addition to an impeccably curated Hair service portfolio, AEVUM takes Hair Health to new heights fusing biotech innovations with alternative therapies while providing a home to a team of hand selected hair and wellness experts who are exceptional in their field.

We work together to provide you with a sanctuary for self-care that is results driven and meaningful - we know that the time you allocate to looking and feeling better is an investment in a better life, and we value every minute of your time.

We welcome you to schedule some time with us, we know you’ll leave feeling better than you arrived…

  • Curated Art Displayed Unexpectedly

    Joanna Ambroz, Doctor of Arts based in Warsaw, PL, combines painting, research, and bookmaking to explore taboos and self-reflection. She has generously donated a thought provoking piece that Tom and Chris were immediately drawn to.

    In her work, she uses two colours: red and blue. Red represents awareness, tension, temperament, and conflict, while blue symbolizes the subconscious, harmony, reflection, and mourning. She is intrigued by the interaction between these colours and the contrast that creates an exchange between the intensity of experiences and the compulsion to block them.
