Ruby's Hair Studio

🛑 IMPORTANT PUBLIC NOTICE: RUBY’S HAIR STUDIO LIMITED (IN LIQUIDATION) 🛑

To all our loyal clients and the local Fleet and Farnborough communities:

Please be advised that the company behind this page, Ruby's Hair Studio Limited, officially entered formal insolvent liquidation on 20 May 2026.

We feel a strict duty of care to inform the public of the reality behind the sudden closure: The company closed its doors without paying its dedicated styling staff their hard-earned contractual wages. Furthermore, to add to the devastation of the team, the staff's emergency Government support has been frozen and delayed because the old owner submitted fraudulent payroll data to HMRC. The government has had to launch an investigation into the records before any financial help can be paid out to the redundant workers.

Any recent announcements on local social media regarding a "new look," a "new face," or a seamless takeover by a new owner are completely misleading. The public needs to know that this setup is currently subject to a formal, active investigation by the UK Government’s Insolvency Service under Case Reference: IP-2026-152109 regarding illegal "phoenix" business operations, corporate manipulation, and criminal name reuse violations.

The trusted, professional styling team you know and love have completely severed all ties with this toxic history. We refused to stay silent while local workers were exploited.

But we aren't going anywhere. The entire original team has stood together to protect our livelihoods and our clients. We have spent the last few weeks working tirelessly behind the scenes on a brilliant new independent project.

✨ We are just a few days away from officially opening our brand-new venture. ✨

The End of an Era: A Heartfelt Message to Our Farnborough Community

​For over two decades, we haven’t just been your stylists; we have been part of your milestones, your celebrations, and your lives. Today, we are sharing the difficult truth behind the sudden closure of our studio—not just for us, but for the community that supported us.While the salon door has closed on our team, the story behind the scenes is one we believe the public deserves to know:

​The Taxpayer Burden:

Despite the Director operating other successful local business interests, the bill for our £20,090.15 in unpaid wages and redundancy is being handed to you, the taxpayer, through the Redundancy Payments Service.
​
Blocked Investigations:

At this moment in time, we are being unlawfully blocked from forming a Liquidation Committee. This committee is a legal right for creditors, and we believe it is being obstructed specifically to prevent serious financial irregularities from being formally investigated.
​
A Calculated "Phoenix" Reopening:

Official liquidation documents show that the salon’s assets were sold at a serious undervalue—including valuing our 23.5 years of Goodwill and reputation at NIL. Evidence suggests these assets were sold immediately back to the Director, who is now reportedly renting them to a "new" owner to continue trading at the same location.
​Using Your Data: While our reputation was valued at zero in legal filings, the "new" management is already using the Salon IQ database to call clients. Furthermore, the booking portal is still using Emma’s name to solicit business—a serious GDPR breach and a misleading representation to those loyal to her for decades.

​The Pension Timeline:

Records in our pension portals show the business was labeled for "Liquidation" as early as 24 February 2026. While deductions were taken from our pay, portal transactions show £0.00 employer contributions reached the accounts for the final months of our service.
​

We know things have been challenging for former colleagues over the last couple of years, and we sincerely wish everyone the strength to move forward into a healthy and successful future. However, our focus remains on the 14.8% creditor block we represent and our fight for justice.

Coming Soon:

Full Transparency
To ensure the community has access to the full facts, we will be sharing the available public documents very soon. These records will allow you to see the official valuations and statements for yourselves.
​

Looking Ahead:

A New Adventure
​While this chapter is closing in a way we never expected, the bond we share with our clients cannot be undervalued.
​Very soon, we will be announcing a whole new adventure.
​We hope that you will continue to enjoy the experiences and care you have received during our 23.5 years together, but under a new company that values its team and its community above all else.
​Thank you, Farnborough, for your unwavering support. Watch this space—we can’t wait to welcome you back.

A message from the staff of Ruby's hair studio
​We are writing to let our customers know that as of 2.30 today, Ruby's hair studio has closed permanently.
​This was a sudden decision made by ownership, and as staff, we were given almost no notice of this closure. We wanted to reach out to you all ourselves because we value the relationships we’ve built with you.
​Thank you for being the best part of our jobs. We're sorry we didn't get a proper chance to say goodbye.
