There are four part-time staff at present — Mrs Heather Mitt- on,who has been a t Hair Care for 16 years, Mrs Carol Carter, who has been there for 11 years, Mrs Valerie Buckle who worked at the salon as an appren­ tice before returning two years ago, and Mrs Janet Faulkner who has been a Hair Care employee for the past eight years. Mrs High­ am said: “They all left at some point to get married and have children, but have all come back to work for me part-time.”The team is completed by salon junior Miss Nicola Falmer.who having completed her training recently is the only


'members who are easy going, have lots of person­ ality and who are able to respond -to the customers needs — qualities which are obvious in all the staff. Mrs Higham said: “All the girls are fully trained and we all get on like one big happy family. I can trust them to run the salon while I am away and I know I am leaving i t in good

Mrs Higham would like to invite customers old and new to pop into the salon tomorrow or any time next week for a chat and a glass of wine to say thank-you for their custom and sup­ port over the years.She will also be donating a substan­

tion.” This year is proving to be


something of a celebratory year for Mrs Higham, for besides the salon’s anniver­ sary, she will be celebrating her own 50th birthday next week. January will mark her 35th year as a hair­ dresser, hut for now she is happy to celebrate 20 years in her own business. She said: “I t has changed


quite a bit over the years, but I have enjoyed every minute. I love my job and there hasn’t been a day when I didn’t want to come


to work.” She added: “I would just, like to say a big thank-you


to my staff for all the hard- work and support they have given me. They are all wonderful.”
