Not only has the salon just celebrated its 10th birthday, but the staff have been busy giving next door a makeover as the business gets set to expand.

The Powder Room, in Low Lane, has renovated the former DIY store in a bid to offer more beauty treatments.

Salon manager Natalie organised a celebratory party which was well attended by the salon’s loyal clientele and staff members.

She said: “It was like a 60 minute makeover.

“We were still putting paint on the walls just before the launch. It was hectic.”

Natalie founded the business on her own a decade ago but always had her heart set on expanding the salon.

She said: “The shop next door had been a charity shop for 25 years and when I heard they were leaving, I told the owners I would be interested.

“A DIY store moved in briefly but then I got the call to say we could have it.”

Natalie and her team spent months giving the next shop a makeover before the celebrations.

She said: “We showed everyone around and had a few drinks to celebrate. It has been a dream come true.

“It was really nice to dress up like a girl for a change after months of painting and pushing a wheelborrow around.”
