Kirkbymoorside hair salon moves to old Post Office

Love My Hair first opened in Kirkbymoorside in 2016 in West End, but has now found a new home in Market Place.

The new space was once the town’s Post Office, but has given a complete revamp to turn it into a fully functional salon.

Love My Hair’s owner, Kirsty Lawrence, said she first opened the store to “offer a one shop salon for all hair and beauty needs - to be pampered from head to toe”.

“I have always strived to grow my amazing little business,” she added.

Along the way, Kirsty said she has built a strong team consisting of Katie Pool, Emma Rivis, Molly Garden, and Gemma Montgomery.

She decided to move to the old Post Office to allow more space for the salon’s work.

Under the guidance of architect Patrick Cuddy her dream was made a reality.

“It has been amazing renovating such a fabulous building with so much history and story’s to be told by all the local people,” she said.

Kirsty gave thanks to Patric Cuddy, JDL plumbing & electrical, and NT & LS Plastering for their efforts throughout the build.

The new space was officially opened by the Mayor of Kirkbymoorside, Jill Wells, on April 1.

Before cutting the ribbon, the Mayor said: “It’s a great pleasure and honour to officially open Love My Hair – another independent shop on the high street.”

The salon offers hair, beauty, nails, and tanning beds services.

It also offers a clinic specialising in natural looking non-surgical aesthetic treatments for ageing skin.

Kirsty added: “We are extremely excited to open our doors in the high street we have very special thanks to pay to all friends, family and trades involved that have done a fantastic job.”

Emma Rivis joined Love My Hair last year and said: “I have loved every minute working here. The team are amazing, and we all couldn't ask for a better boss than Kirsty.

“My passion is all things nails. I just love creating unique designs. I am also a trained hairdresser.

“They say if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life, and I really feel like I have achieved this and found the place that can allow me to have this.”

Katie Poo added: “It has been an absolute pleasure working within the Love My Hair team for six years now. It has been an amazing couple of years watching us grow, and seeing how far we have come.

“I cannot wait for our new adventure with the team it is going to be amazing being in the centre of Kirkbymoorside.”
