There are not many people who can say going to work each day is a dream come true but Nyasha Mwenye can.
The 24-year-old is the owner of Newcastle salon House of Ace and has styled the hair of celebrities ranging from Newcastle United footballers to Geordie Shore stars. The Waterloo Street business specalises in Afro-Caribbean hair and has a team of skilled stylists that attract clients from as far as London and Edinburgh.
And it's a life-long ambition come to life for owner Nyasha who said her motivation for the business was inspired by her struggle as a child to find a salon in Newcastle that could do her hair. Taking matters into her own hands, she learned how to braid her hair at the age of just 14 and she soon began to get requests from friends and family to do theirs too.
