A well known local hair stylist has set up her own salon in
Shirley and has invited some of her new clients to help her cut the
ribbon on this exciting new venture.
Bei Capelli has become Shirley's newest hairdressing salon. It
hopes to bring a new experience to customers, which is far more
personal and individual than the conveyor belt approach often
employed by some of its competitors. Solihull-born Hannah Gardner,
who has set up the business, has been working at a premier hair
salon since 2007, and saw this as the ideal time to set up on her
own.
With the help of NatWest Business Banking, Hannah has now
established Bei Capelli in the former Pearce & Cutler Windows
shop at 405 Stratford Road, Shirley creating six new jobs.
Hannah Gardner said: "I am really excited about the opening of
Bei Capelli, and I cannot believe how quickly the appointments book
is filling up. Having worked in the industry, I know exactly what
Bei Capelli needs to deliver to my clients. My team and I have a
very personal approach offering exceptional service and value, and
above all we are passionate about what we do!"
Hannah added: "Today is a very special day for me and would like
to say a big thank you to everyone who has helped me with the
opening of the salon. I would like to thank my parents for being so
supportive of my ambition to be my own boss, my clients and our
NatWest Business Manager Mina Pala. They have all been fantastic
and without the help and support I have received Bei Capelli just
would not have been possible."
Mina Pala, NatWest's Business Manager in Shirley, said: "Small
businesses are vital to the UK economy and NatWest is there to help
in every way it can. Solid support and guidance from dedicated
relationship managers is key, and to prosper it is essential that
new business ventures like Bei Capelli take advantage of all the
help they can get. I'm delighted that NatWest was able to support
Hannah with this business venture and I wish her and everyone
involved with Bei Capelli every success."
