The professional hairdresser said she wanted to ‘do something different’ in the area and combine ladies hairdressing with a barber service, which people could get by simply walking through the door.

Vicki, aged 32, said: “Just Cuts is just that, there are no perms or colours and people can just come in without an appointment and have a haircut or a trim. This is also something I would want and look for.

“I don’t like making appointments, if you have commitments or your children are ill it can be very difficult to keep.”

The family barber shop offers a service, with the help of Vicki’s part-time hairdresser Nicki Williams, to all ages.

It also holds a toy car seat which keeps youngsters entertained while getting a trim.

Vicki said: “I had thought about the idea for three years and wanted to do something different.

“We were looking around at different places to open and my daughter goes to Mead Vale Primary School and it seemed a good location with parking facilities.

“A unit became available and we thought let’s grab it now.

“When I left school I worked in a salon for a number of years and when I left there I worked in a barber shop and got more experience in barbering.

“Then I thought I am qualified to do both, so let’s start doing it and I get a lot of support from my partner and my family.”
