A CUDDINGTON salon has welcomed a new beauty parlour to its premises to give the village a facelift.

Julie Bruce opened Karma Rooms on Norley Road in October 4, 2013.

And exactly a year on from that date beauty therapist Karen Palin has moved in and set up base with Julie under the name of White Hart Serenity.

Karen qualified in 2003 from Mid Cheshire College in Holistic Massage, Beauty and Electrical treatments. She has moved to Cuddington after previously being based at Barclays headquarters at Radbroke Hall, near Knutsford.

Julie has been a ‘family hairdresser’ for more than 30 years after training in Liverpool.

“It’s a fantastic area and I’ve got a lovely clientèle and since I’ve revamped the shop people are saying it really has brought the best out of the village,” Julie told the Guardian.

“It’s a real community here.

“Everyone has busy lives and we are both in the mind set that we will open early. We need to be open when people finish work as well, so that’s another thing that has given us a lot of clientèle.”
