A NEW hair salon is set to open in Weston next month – in the Royal Hotel.

Lauren Cox, of Stafford Road, has started her own business at the South Parade venue.

The 27-year-old former Broadoak School student said when she saw a notice asking for someone to take over a new salon she jumped at the chance.

Lauren said: “I thought what a great opportunity – particularly as they have lots of weddings here.

“I am really excited about this prospect and hope that people will come along and support me.

“The hotel already has a great beauty salon and now that it has hair salon it has everything a bride could want.”

Lauren, who is fully qualified, will offer bridal and party services, perms, colouring, styling and more.

The salon, named Hair Affair @ The Royal, is open seven days a week to the public, including men and children.

People are invited to visit at 3pm on July 1 to check out the venue before it officially opens on July 2.
