A new hair salon has opened in Workington town centre.

Linzi Jones, 31, of Moss Bay, opened The Hair Room on King Street on Monday.

She said: “ I’ve already had to take on help for this weekend because I wouldn’t be able to go through it all on my own and I already have bookings for weddings for next year.”

Linzi has spent the last two weeks decorating the new shop.

She is holding an opening event today and tomorrow.

Linzi said: “We’ll be serving Prosecco and giving out vouchers.

“I like the idea of running my own business because there’s so many different things I can do.

“At the moment I’m offering hair and nails but I’d love one day to be a one-stop shop and also offer packages for brides and makeovers.”
