A WELL-KNOWN hairdresser is gearing up to open her “dream” salon in Halstead.

Danni Pickering, a resident of Head Street, Halstead, is opening her first ever salon next Saturday on Parsonage Street in the town.

Her business, Danni Hair Design, previously operated from Just For Men, in Trinity Street.

The salon will also offer beauty treatments courtesy of Adorabella Beauty, and Danni is hoping the business can bring something a little different to the town centre.

She said: “I have been in hairdressing for 18 years, most of that time in Halstead.

“It is really exciting for me. I have wanted this my whole career and it is finally happening. I cannot wait to open.

“It will be great to have somewhere nice and bright to call my own. It is a dream come true.

“We want it to be welcoming and accessible to everybody and we want it to have a real family feel.

“The salon will be for everyone including kids and even dogs are welcome.”

The name for the business will be revealed at a special launch party on Thursday where everyone is invited to pop in for a glass of bubbly.

There will be special offers available for the first month of opening and late opening hours every Wednesday.

Danni is looking for a self-employed stylist to join the salon.
