New salon cuts a dash

A hair salon which already has roots in Staffordshire has thrown open the doors of a second base in Brereton, which has undergone major refurbishment.

Hair Avantgarde Ltd has a well-established branch in Glenthorne Drive, Cheslyn Hay, but owner Paula Ireson-Lawrence decided to branch out and has been busy refitting a salon in Main Street, Brereton, over recent weeks. She has over 20 years experience and is qualified to Level 3 Advanced level as well as being a qualified teacher.

She said: "We are well-established in Cheslyn Hay and are looking forward to being part of Brereton.

"I'd like to thank all of the staff for their hard work and I'd also like to thank the customers for their support."

The new-look salon in Brereton, opposite the Cedar Tree hotel, officially threw open its doors with an open day on Saturday with pink bubbly and canapes for people going along to take a look.

Goody bags were also given out and a 10 per cent discount was offered to customers on the day.

It was formally Jilly's hair salon but the owner retired and it has now been completely refurbished.

A modern look was picked for its interior with touches of pink featuring in the design and glass blocks separating the reception and salon.

Hair Avantgarde, which has been in Cheslyn Hay for five years, uses the latest techniques and advice on various styles.

Technical colour specialists are on hand to offer a range of colour procedures including foils, frosting, tipping, spatula and colour correction.

A separate room is also provided where colours are applied and a sofa is available for customers to relax on, watching a DVD, while waiting.
