"As a small business in Stainland we have been a constant for the community over 20 years.
"There have been ups and downs, as with any business, but the salon has constantly evolved our offering to stay relevant in a market that has changed so much over the years.
"Add to this that we have such a loyal client base, many of whom have been with us from the beginning, who are always keen to try the latest treatments.
"I think the key to staying in business is consistency, customer service, moving with the times and taking care of your staff.

"As we head into the winter months, the cost-of-living crisis will likely reduce demand for our services.
"To support our clients, we have introduced monthly offers on popular treatments and held our prices where possible to avoid passing on increases.
"We realise our service is a treat for many of our clients and we want to make it as affordable as possible."
