A HAIRDRESSER in Northwich is holding a party on Wednesday, to celebrate 18 years in business.

Wilsons Hairdressers, in Witton Street, is marking the occasion between 4pm and 8pm with refreshments, colour consultations, complimentary hair styling and a raffle, with proceeds going to St Luke's Hospice.

The first 50 people will also receive a gift bag.

The business was first established in Macclesfield by Audrey Wilson 22 years ago, with the Northwich branch opening in 1997.

Zoe Bentley, manager of Wilsons in Northwich, said: "I feel such a sense of achievement that we’ve reached 18 years of haircutting here in Northwich; I’m very proud of how we’ve grown and how hard the staff have worked down the years to enable us to be in this position today.

"It’d be fantastic if the people of Northwich came out to celebrate with us, met a few of the staff here and learned about the numerous products and services on offer at Wilsons."
