After losing a lot of that time to Covid restrictions, she's now hoping to truly put her stamp on the place, and has spent the last lockdown carrying out a full refurbishment.
"We have mixed feelings about Monday", said Nicola.
"We can't wait to open again, but at the same time, we've been here before and have been closed down.
"But this time we've done a full refurbishment - everything you can think of - and we are looking forward to people seeing it."

Customers have to wear a mask, and are given towels and gowns that are washed after every appointment, meaning Nicola has bought treble the amount of items and around 10 loads of washing are put on a day in the salon. "But, you have to make the most of it, and it's worth it", she added.

"The atmosphere in the salon is amazing and seeing people so grateful makes it worthwhile" said Nicola.
