Harrogate hair salon to close after a decade in business
The owner of a hairdressing salon in Bilton has announced it will close its doors for the last time at the end of the year, after 10 years in business.
Beth Benson said she took the decision to close Rococo Hair and Beauty, on King Edward's Drive, "with a very heavy heart", but that the move was forced by financial pressures.
Announcing the closure on Facebook, she said:
This has been an incredibly difficult decision and certainly not one I’ve taken lightly. However, with the constant increase in running costs, it’s unfortunately no longer sustainable to keep the salon open.
She also thanked her customers, saying they had made the business what it was, adding:
I want to take this opportunity to say a HUGE thank you to every single one of you for your continued support over the last 10 years. Whether you’ve been with us from the very beginning or have joined us along the way, we are so grateful for your support. We really will miss seeing you all!
Ms Benson said that none of her staff would be leaving the industry, but would continue working at other locations, mostly from their respective homes. She said:
I will miss working alongside the most amazing bunch of girls. Some of us have been together right from the very beginning, 10 years ago, so saying goodbye to Rococo as we know it is going to be incredibly sad.
However, I genuinely believe this is just the start of a new chapter for all of us. Although we may be going our separate ways work-wise, we are all leaving as the best of friends, and that’s something I’ll always be grateful for.
Thank you again for making the last 10 years so special.
Rococo Hair and Beauty will remain open until Thursday, December 31.
