Dedicated Followers of Fashion - Wigs and Warpaint

Posted by Kate
Dated: April 30, 2008 1:11 PM

Step into a hairdressers and the last thing you expect to find is a clothing boutique – but Wigs and Warpaint is no ordinary salon.

The Sheffield-based business, run by hairdresser Claire Flack and her boyfriend Paul Cox, brings hair, beauty and fashion together in a bid to offer clients the ultimate indulgent experience.

"We wanted to appeal to anyone looking for that special, full service," Paul explains. So they set about creating a salon with the full works.

An effervescent location was vital to the couple, so when they discovered vacant premises housed in a sparkling plaza surrounded by plush apartments, stylish bars, and trendy restaurants, they set about making their dream a reality.
