New Windermere beauty salon gets its launch at the Boaters Bar

Kendal Hairdresser & Bridal hair designer Anna Sorbie opened her new salon in the town earlier this year during the summer, however due to lockdown she was unable to put on the launch night she had planned.

But now the business will be enjoying its upcoming launch with the help of a popular local bar.

“When lockdown happened it really made people stop, think, and realign themselves with their local community.

“I opened the salon up here and we will be selling our bridal accessories which we’re very excited about.

“We’ll be doing a prep wedding night for grooms so you can get ready before the wedding.

“You can get a beer, provided by Bowness Bay Brewery, and we’re looking to include wine from a local supplier as well.

“It’s all going really well and we also have the space next to use as a barber.

“We’re looking forward to the launch party. It’s been so great of Boaters and Olivia to help us with this.

“We have a lot of plans for the night. We’ll have live music; we’ll have some talks about our products. We are hoping to get actor Tamer Hassan who was in The Business, Football Factory and Batman.
