Dora Hair Fashions

I drive past here fairly frequently and it always amazes me. Firstly it looks pretty unique in my experience - I don't recall seeing any hairdressers' shop fronts like this for several decades. I'm not sure when the design dates from. It always looks clean and well kept so I've never been sure if it is still trading. I stopped to get a snap or two today as the sun was in the right spot - for some reason when I normally drive past the sun isn't a. "out" b. in the right place to see the shop front in the best light. I had the chance to look inside through the glass and it seems to have some Christmas related stuff in the window, so I guess something still happens there.

 

Saying that, I've never seen anyone inside - customers/staff/owner. I did a web search and it said "temporarily closed" - but I wasn't sure why this was. Does it mean for the Festive Period - or something more permanent?

 

The web search came up with an article from a local newspaper from 2017 that said Dora (Fletcher) was the United Kingdom's "longest serving hairdresser" aged 82. I'd love to know something about the customer base - is it growing etc.

I'm in a few 'signs' and 'shop front' groups so I'll be popping it in there, too.

 

I could call in for a new hairdo at some point, but to be fair there isn't much left to 'design' :-(
