A HAIRDRESSER is preparing to live his dream as he opens up a brand new salon in the heart of Witney.

Adam Burgess said he was looking forward to the opening of Verve and Virtue Hairdressing, located in a Cotswold stone building in Corn Street.

The 27-year-old from North Leigh said: "I'm buzzing. I just can't wait to for people to come and see it.

"I know a lot of people in the area and so many of them really want to come and have a look.

"I'm really excited - and I'm looking forward to opening the new salon.

"I love cutting hair but I haven't done any since leaving work five months ago so I'm really missing it.

"When people come into a salon they want to feel like they're wanted there.

"It's about building that relationship - and I want people to come in and just love it."

After working for Idlewild salons for over nine years Mr Burgess decided to set up his own hairdressing business.

The premises has been redesigned and an opening evening will take place on Friday.
