One of Leeds' most iconic and oldest hairdressers has been saved as a new creative director has been appointed.
Sassoon hair salon has been in Albion Street for over 49 years. It first opened in 1973 following the success of widely-known hairdresser, the late Vidal Sassoon, who opened his first salon in London during the 1950s before opening salons across the country.
The Leeds branch was due to close on Christmas Eve of this year, but now it has been saved. Gareth Vance had worked at the chain for almost 30 years and worked his way up to creative director.
