The premises are located in a prominent building in a busy high street. The salon itself is composed of a large open plan area with three nail stations, waiting area and reception. Off this area there are two beauty rooms, one sunbed room, staff area and W.C. There is also a basement area, which is predominantly used for storage. In the main building but external to the salon area there is a separate room, which houses the washing machine and tumble dryer.

Competition / Market
