Two mums have teamed up to launch a new beauty salon on the Norfolk Broads.

Chelsea Leggett first met Sally Watts around six years ago when she started cutting her hair.

They bonded by chatting about parenthood and their love of the beauty industry - with Ms Leggett being a hairdresser and Ms Watts being trained in nails and tanning.

After working solo for many years, the pair have decided to pool their skills together to open a salon in Church Street, Coltishall.

Lioness Hair and Beauty is expected to launch sometime in early December and they are already taking bookings for this time.

"We're really excited to get started," Ms Leggett, from Horsham St Faith, said.

"I love what I do - I get to meet so many different people and it's a way to support my family."

Ms Watts, from Horstead, agreed: "People love being tanned and feeling beautiful so it's definitely a rewarding job."

She added she is also excited about the location of the premises.

"It's in such a lovely spot," she said. "It's right by the river and there's a holiday let right behind us, so I'm sure we'll have people popping in for a treatment while they're here."

The pair are hosting a special welcoming event on November 30 from 3pm to 7pm.
