Phone line all ok now.Sorry for any inconvenience.
We are now operating no.7 and no.9 on ground level, we will be completely into no.9 by next tuesday.
Salon looks amazing.

Important Message! Wednesday

Unicom still haven't sorted our incoming line yet, but if you try to dial us it gives the impression that the phone is not being answered as it sounds like it is ringing. We're not ignoring you - promise!

Please email Boilerhouse at boilerhousehair@gmail.com with your name and contact number and a member of the team will call as soon as possible to book you in.

Alternatively, you can call Steve on his mobile on 07730972349.

Apologies for the inconvenience, and please hang on in there - we'll be moved in and sorted very soon!

Wednesday - dodgy phone line!

A huge apology to anyone trying to book appointments at the moment - our phone line when down yesterday, and is due to be re-routed, but that's not yet happened (grrrrr). At the moment, we can't tell how long it's going to take, so to ensure you can get yourself booked in, you can email boilerhousehair@gmail.com with your name and contact number and a member of the team will call you back to book you in.

This does also mean that we can't operate our card machine so we would really appreciate it if you could bring cash or a cheque.

On the plus side, the salon is looking great, and it's looking likely that some of tomorrow's clients will be experiencing their appointment next door in our new swanky location!

Tuesday

Bit of a cock up by Unicom today so if you are reading this and tried to 'phone the salon today and had trouble getting through, you now know why. Sorry!
Everything else going well.Should be seeing a few night shifts by the boys this week I reckon!

Monday

Work proceeds nicely. We should be in by the end of the week!
The upstairs space is great now the wall has been taken down to make the 1st floor open plan.

saturday

Today saw the bespoke steel work units arrive and start to be assembled,and they look great. With an empty shell it is difficult to envisage how the space will feel, now it is filling out we can see it is going to be a great space to work in. Tonight one wall goes up, and another will come down.

Friday.

The shopfitters are working together like a fine swiss timepiece. A beautiful sight to behold.
Wallpapers, which have been specially designed ,are going up and look amazing. Tomorrow night we relinquish the upstairs area which we have held on to up until now.The dividing wall will go up on the 1st floor and the Boilerhouse we have known for the last 25 years will be no more. Quite an emotional day I'm sure as we have [me and Kim anyhow!] worked at no.7 for half our lives.

Wednesday.

Lots happening. More lighting gone up, painters are working through the night. A blip with the computer system which was meant to go in today as something hadn't arrived, so fitting has been put back a week which means that the staff training day can't be done until mid October. Just have to make do with the old appointment book for a while longer. Staff are all fairly shivering with uncontrolled excitement!  

Getting stressful!

Supposed to be having 3 new lines in today from BT,but only 2 showing on the job roster.Obviously they can't just do the 3rd while they are there,have to check the paperwork and get back to them .Bah Humbug.
Supposed to moving in next week but lots still to do.Scary.

20 September. Looking Good!

Things are starting to come together nicely. 2nd floor toilets are in,reclaimed wood floors are down,paint effects guys are doing their thing.Salon exterior colour is on,sky dish up,phone lines in tomorrow.
Light fittings going up,tiles going down.Reception desk on wed. computers in Thurs.whew!

Latest photo update

There's definite change this week in the salon, with things starting to take place a little more:

The new room has been stripped down, ready for a new layout and design.

 We uncovered a pretty ceiling rose under the false ceiling, and an old fireplace behind new plaster, but will these features be sticking around to make an appearance in the new salon? You'll just have to wait to find out!

 The ladies loos are coming on, with wood on the walls. There'll now be 2 ladies toilets and a separate toilet for the gents, as part of the attic area. On the right is a view of the skylight, looking from the first floor landing.
 

Plenty of texture going on here on the downstairs wall, but who's to say that it's staying?

Honor and Dani making use of the makeshift room. It's a little cosy, sure, but it's working out just fine while the renovation works continue in other areas of the salon.

Jo's off on maternity

Jo is now officially on maternity leave! We had to say bye to her a week earlier than expected, after bad water retention in her hands was preventing her from cutting and colouring to the best of her potential. She tried to reach all of her clients to let them know personally, but if she couldn't get hold of you, she apologises. In the meantime, we're looking forward to each meeting some of her clients, to tide you over with your cut and colour needs until her return. Both mum and baby seem to be doing just fine, and we'll let you know when baby makes his first appearance!

New service confirmed!

Exciting news just in at Boilerhouse is that, once well and truly in situ in the new salon, the newest service to be added to our list is botox! We'll shortly be welcoming Adrienne to the team. 

Registered general nurse qualified for thirty years, Adrienne has spent most of her profession working in operating theatre environments, anaesthetics and recovery and has a degree in health Sciences from the University of Teesside.

Adrienne became interested in Botox and fillers through personal use and was delighted with my own results so decided to undertake training.

She qualified in the use of botox in 2006 at Harley Street Medical Training Group in London and also qualified in the use of facial fillers at QMED training centre in 2006.

Stay tuned for further information, including prices and days of the week that these new appointments will be available.
