Renovations continue

Things are moving on with the renovation and relocation of Boilerhouse. After work on the roof and upper windows came work on the top floor, sectioning out the new washrooms in a much brighter and airier location, as well as plenty of rather dull electrical work throughout the salon. There's been much to-ing and fro-ing over actual start date of full-on work, and we can now confirm that the shopfitters 'move in' this Monday, 1st August, so exciting visual changes should begin to take place before our eyes in a matter of weeks now.

In the meantime, check out a few photos of the salon in its current shell form!

 

This soon will be the new, ground-level, home of Boilerhouse, on the corner at no. 9 Acorn Road

 

The new site for the beauty room is not currently looking quite so beautiful

 

The overflow room in the attic is overflowing with work to be done at the moment

 

A view from the top - taken from the attic floor, looking all the way down to what will be the new set of stairs used to get from ground level to the first floor

 

The area presently known as 'out back' will soon join the rest of the first floor to become a part of the large, bright and airy open plan first floor styling and colouring room

And the Boilerhouse transformation begins!

The beginnings of the new Boilerhouse have now officially begun! If you've been down Acorn Road this past week, you'll notice the dominating scaffolding that's been erected, which marks the start of work to the new salon. The roof and attic windows are currently being renewed, and internal work is set to commence on July 11th, so if your appointment is filled with banging and drilling, please do bear with us, because you'll be just as excited to see the product of the noise as we! Stay tuned on our news page and Facebook for photo updates and sneak previews along the way as Boilerhouse undergoes its most ambitious and extravagant transformation yet!

Eleanor's 12th Birthday @ Boilerhouse

Another month, and another birthday party at Boilerhouse. This month saw Eleanor celebrating her 12th birthday, with a pampering party for her and her friends. Boilerhouse's team of juniors reported back that the evening was a great success, and that all of the girls loved their pretty hairstyles, glitzy manicures, and super chic party bags. Judging by the pictures, we couldn't agree more!

Don't forget, Boilerhouse currently offers children's pamper parties on a Friday night, so if you're interested, book early to secure your preferred Friday. You can arrange a booking by calling Boilerhouse on 0191 281 2348 and asking for Kim or Saskia.

Gone Fishing: Steve and Gus

When not manning the desk at Boilerhouse, Steve is an avid fan of fishing, and caught his first salmon of the season this weekend, at Ladykirk on the Tweed, where the handsome looking fish was returned to spawn.

The fish in question

Gus also enjoyed his first day fishing of many to come, lounging on the river banks with a cup of tea ;)

Global Keratin (Brazilian) Blow Dries now available!

Recommended to be carried out every 3 months or so, the service will cost between £150 and £195, with a 50% deposit to be paid prior to the appointment, and the process takes approximately 2 and a half hours. Book now to experience the great results for yourself.

Dame Allan's Fashion Show

A team of Boilerhouse's girlies, headed by Kim, provided hair services for a charity fashion show this month, held at As You Like It. This is the second successful show so far this year that Boilerhouse has been involved in, and we're looking forward to doing many more to come. Here are some photos of the evening's work...

Kid's party number 2 goes down a treat!

Olivia's 8th birthday at Boilerhouse was absolutely fab! Have a look at the photos to see the wonderful different styles the girls went for. Everyone had a great time, although the full on Justin Bieber soundtrack throughout was perhaps a little questionable, but kids will be kids! These lovely girlies even got picked up in a limo after their makeovers, and they couldn't have looked snazzier for the occasion!
