Liverpool family business with hairdressing 'in their blood'

A Liverpool family business with hairdressing "in their blood" has been at the heart of their community for decades.

Back in the 1960s, Joan Hope, now 89 and her late husband Frank opened their hairdressing salon on Bayliff Road in West Derby. The business was originally named after the couple and later became known as Perfections hair, nail and beauty salon.

Welcoming generations through her doors and seeing hairstyles and trends change around her through the years, the dedicated mum-of-five even gave birth to one of her children above the salon and was back to work the following Monday. Today, all of Joan's children work in the industry, with her only daughter Gaynor Walsh and her husband Tim now carrying on the family business.
