A Durrington salon that opened in the midst of the pandemic won two regional awards.

Jamie-Lee added, “We partner with other companies to deliver unique experiences that no other salon offers, so we support as many people as possible.
“Especially in the Covid situation, a lot of people have mental health issues and it just gives them that support.
“Getting people out of the house with fitness and babysitting classes gives them the opportunity to be themselves again.”
