After a long and painful Lockdown it looks like there is finally a glimmer of light on the horizon and we will soon be allowed to open the salon doors again.
During our forced closure we have tried to utilise the time as much as possible and it has allowed us to create some exciting new roles within our team, which we are now pleased to announce beginning:-
