Andrew Collinge has praised the "family spirit" of his Merseyside hairdressing salon as his son Charlie unveiled the business' revamped city centre venue.
The Collinge family have been treating the hair of Scousers ever since Wilfred and Molly opened up a salon in West Derby in the 1940s. Now their grandson Charlie, as managing director of the newly renamed Collinge & Co., has praised the welcoming and calm space of its revamped Castle Street site.
Charlie and his father Andrew, who is still involved in the creative side of the business, gave the ECHO a tour of the new store. Charlie, a 39 year-old living in the city centre, said: "We wanted to make it a more welcoming environment. We've tried to make it a space that, as soon as you walk in, you feel relaxed.”
