About

Howard Smith—creator of Karma by Howard, a private sanctuary for hair and wellbeing in Whitchurch, Hampshire where every detail is guided by organic, natural, and vegan values. In 2025, I was named Hairdresser of the Year by the Gazette, and I’ve been featured in Refinery29—a proud moment that recognised not just my styling work, but the ethos behind it. Hairdressing isn’t just my job—it’s my way of connecting, creating, and caring. Whether you’re here for a transformation or just a moment of peace, I’m genuinely honoured to be part of your journey. I carefully curate my tools and products to ensure they are cruelty-free and packed with nourishing, non-toxic ingredients. Everything I offer is designed to support your hair and wellbeing without compromise.
