Vanessa said: "It was a hard push to get the salon open on time, my husband helped organise all of the electricians, builders and decorators who were all working really hard to make sure we could.

"I'm really pleased with the opening how went, we have been inundated with support from the local area and we now have so many new clients. The response has been phenomenal!

"Without the whole team getting involved, we wouldn’t have been able to open on time. I'm absolutely shattered, but I am so happy with the final result and proud of everyone who made it possible."

Despite previous struggles during the coronavirus pandemic, the salon has bounced back and had a whole new makeover.
