TWO beauty therapists who previously ran mobile hair and beauty businesses have combined forces to open a new salon in Weston.

Louise Hall and Leeann Miller have opened Divas Unisex Hair and Beauty in Whitecross Road and offer a full range of hair and beauty treatments, including nail extensions and spray tans.

Ms Hall said: “We wanted to offer premises which people could come to use instead of us going to their homes. It creates a different atmosphere.”

Their new business is particularly aimed at parents who want some pampering, but they also cater for hen and princess parties.

Ms Hall, who previously worked as a mental health support worker, said: “I wanted to work for myself, and I have always cared about my appearance. So I thought why not try to do it.

“I believe if you jump in and it works, fantastic, and if it doesn’t then you just don’t do it again. It’s the right time now and hopefully it works out for us both.”
