8 years ago an opportunity arose which took me by surprise but I knew that if I didn\u2019t grab it by both hands, I would always regret it. My boss at the time William Guy was closing his Ashley Heath salon and creating a 1 amazing super salon in Ringwood. I approached him and asked if he would give me his blessing to open my own salon in his former salon in Ashley Heath. To my surprise he said yes with love and encouragement (you don\u2019t meet many people as kind and genuine as William). Within a few weeks I took over the salon and renamed it William and Mary (I kept his name as an ode to him and his support) and began my journey as a salon owner. 8 years later, I still can\u2019t believe I\u2019m actually a salon owner and I have created a salon I\u2019m so proud of with staff I love. It\u2019s been an eventful journey and not always an easy one but I wouldn\u2019t change it for the world. I love my little salon and my staff who have become my family. As for my clients, those who were with me from the start and those of you who have joined me along the way, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the last 8 years which would not have been possible without you all. I love and appreciate every single one of you. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank my sister Emma who started up the salon with me and helped me to establish William and Mary but has recently had to leave to look after her son who has autism. Without her, I wouldn\u2019t be where I am today and although it\u2019s bittersweet she had to leave, I know I always have her love and support without which I don\u2019t know what I\u2019d do. Here\u2019s to the next 8 years! And thank you William Guy for making my dream come true ❤️<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
