A brand-new luxury hair salon has opened its doors at a popular site in Kidderminster.

Blend Hair Studio, co-owned by long-term friends Sian Dimblebee and Izzy Caddick-Hewitt, welcomed its first customers on November 7 after many years in the making.

The business is located at the old Umberto Giannini salon at 41 Oxford Street with the friends calling it a ‘dream come true’ to finally have their own salon together.

Sian Dimblebee, aged 27, from Kidderminster, said: “We’ve both been self-employed for around six years now, so opening our own salon was really the next big step in our careers.

“Being located at the old Umberto Giannini site is such a cool and great spot as not only did we love the idea of having a lot of people walk past the shop, but it’s great to be in the old home of a well-known salon.

“It is amazing to have opened the salon together and it’s exactly what we wanted for our clients. It has just been incredible to see our vision come to life.”

The pair have been friends for many years with Ms Dimblebee being in the industry for over a decade and Ms Caddick-Hewitt, aged 25, from Bewdley, being in the hair business for just under ten years.

The friends brought along all of their clients to the new salon but are eager to welcome new faces and be at the heart of the community.

Ms Dimblebee added: “Our customers have all been fantastic and so excited for us. It’s been really lovely welcoming them to our new business.

“We’re really grateful for the incredible support of our friends and family too. We managed to get the salon open within six days and it would never have been possible without them.”

The pair also hope to advertise for new positions in the New Year including offering a chair to rent and the potential for an apprentice to train with the team.

The salon does not have set operating hours, but it is typically open from 9.30am to 3pm on Tuesday, 10am to 8pm on Wednesday and Thursday, 9.30am to 4pm on Friday and 9am to 4pm on Saturday.
