A new hairdressers’ will shortly be opening at 73 Bohemia Road in the former Waves premises – it will be named ‘Eclipse’. A full refurbishment is going on at the salon, where Rachael Martin and Lisa Castleman will be welcoming customers old and new in September.

Manager Rachael, 19, studied hairdressing at Hastings College, and achieved NVQ levels 2 & 3. At level 3 she started working as a mobile hairdresser. She told the Voice, “I’d rather work for myself than someone else. The opportunity arose with the shop when Waves closed.” Lisa also has NVQ 2 & 3 in hairdressing, and won a 365 award for a salon she worked for previously.

She has been doing hairdressing for thirteen years, and worked for Toni & Guy in Bedfordshire before moving down to Hastings three years ago. Since then she too has been a mobile hairdresser.  Rachael wants to attract the former Waves customers back, who are mostly older ladies, but is also bringing the salon up to date to attract new and younger customers.
