Double whammy
No, make that a triple whammy, because alongside the likes of Trevor Sorbie Brighton, Forde Hair and Willie Hendry Hair are also catching our eye this month. Gary Forde of Forde Hair has opened a second salon, this time on busy North Street, and Willie Hendry has opened up new premises on Trafalger Street right by Brighton Station. Regular clients needn’t be worried: the original salons are also staying open. Expansion, Expansion, Expansion – I can see it as a hair-cutting docudrama already

We love The Body Shop’s new Absinthe hand-care range to help combat the drying effects the winter weather has had. It seems 15 minutes of washing up with Fairy Liquid just doesn’t do the trick!
