WILLOWMERE hairdresser Philip James Hassall has hung up his scissors after 41 years of trading in the town.


Philip has handed over the reins to his stylist Sharon Wood, who has worked under Philip for the last two years.


The Philip James salon, which is inside Willowmere retirement home, will be renamed Highlights, and will take over the hairdressers working with her two stylists Ros and Cheryl. 


Sharon has previously worked at Je et Ciein salon in Middlewich and Regis salon in Northwich.


Sharon said: “I’ve worked with Philip for two years now so I’ve learnt from the best.


“He was very good to work for and really quite laid back most of the time.”


Sharon says she will be making some changes to the salon but nothing major and has recently hired her new stylist Cheryl to work for her in Highlights.


Sharon added: “I’m looking forward now to working with Ros and Cheryl and welcoming all clients both new and old.”
