Calm and Comfort at Ego Hair and Beauty

The moment they strolled past the empty shop, Carly Ryder and Lorraine Haskins knew they had found the site for their first hairdressing business venture. Situated near a university, in an up-and-coming area with nearby parking facilities, the empty shell was ripe for transformation.

"We loved the natural light coming into the space as there are so many windows, it really was the deal clincher for us," says Carly. "Everything just seemed to fit and, most importantly, it felt right."

Beauty rooms were built from scratch and all the plumbing and electrics had to be installed, as well as a new floor. But creating a comfortable, stylish environment was important to Carly and Lorraine, who ensured the salon boasted plenty of features.

"We wanted a calming ambience so that our clients would have the ultimate experience - a modern yet chilled salon," explains Carly.
