On the 1st February 2010 Rachel Dale opened the doors of 'Admire', her new hairdressing salon in Old Coulsdon. One year on, Rachel said she feels so at home, she cannot imagine being anywhere else!

Rachel said: "My clients here in Old Coulsdon are adorable. I would like to say a big thank you to them for their support during our first year of business."

Rachel worked at 'Rush' hairdressers in central Croydon for twelve years, before deciding to follow her dream of owning her own salon. She said: "Starting the business has been really hard work and I couldn't have done it without the support of my friends and family, but it has been worth it - I am so happy here!"

Rachel offers a wide-ranging service for men and women, including cuts, colouring and other professional treatments such as 'hair up' for special occasions.

To celebrate their birthday, Admire are offering a free treatment with every hair appointment in February. Call Rachel on 01737 557222.
