The L’oreal Professional salon, in Goring, provides an OPI nail gel service and Balmain human hair extensions while also catering for any hair need – from a simple cut to a complete restyle. Gill said: “I have some exciting new plans for 2020 that I can’t wait to roll out to our clients alongside the services we already provide.

“We love to go that extra mile for our clients and aim to provide the best experience we can – we work hard to make sure all our clients are relaxed and don’t feel awkward”

The salon, which is celebrating a decade in business this year, originally opened at the Thomas A’Becket crossroads, in Rectory Road, Tarring, in 2010 before moving to Goring Road in 2017. Many of Gill’s clientele are loyal customers who have stayed with her across different locations and often travel, yet 2019 saw many new clients visit Glamorous You.

Gill said: “The salon wouldn’t be where it is without our amazing clients.

“So I want to say thank you to them and welcome any new clients in 2020 – we treat everyone the same

“We welcomed many new clients in 2019 and I’m hoping for even more this year.

Working alongside Gill and her mother Lesley Hunt at the salon are two senior stylists, Kim Handford and Anita Barton, and two stylists, Candise Wadey and Abbie Burch.
