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.

More progress updates

This week has been a little light on visual progress, with lots of behind the scenes and electrical type work taking place, but here are a few snaps to keep all you progress followers out there sated.

Kim and a client peek in on the new site in anticipation

Skips are a regular feature outside the salon at the moment, while all the old comes out

 The 'New Room' has begun its transformation, now that it has been taken from us

 and blocked off for work. Incidentally, this room will be the only area

 of Boilerhouse which currently exists to feature in the new set-up.

 Wonder if it'll still be referred to as the new room...

 The new room again, looking to out back. This will ultimately be knocked

 through, to create a bright and breezy open space

 A few old sections and mirrors are all that remains of the new room as we know it

 This skylight used to be blocked up in a cupboard, which has now been smashed

 down, allowing lovely natural light to flood in

The floor hole will have a pretty banister built around it, and become a feature in the 

new salon. Guys, get yer girlies up on the top floor and stand on the 

floor below for some Romeo and Juliet re-enactments!

A new 'New Room'

As you all know, we're well into the process of moving premises, and, as a result, have had to surrender our large upstairs room so that the shopfitters can work on making it look lovely for the new salon opening. Luckily, we've been given a temporary room to work in upstairs, though it is a smaller area than we're used to so please bear with us if you're in over the next few weeks, and be mindful that if you're bringing friends or family along to your appointment there may not be a spare seat for them. We can, of course, accommodate you for your appointment, though there might be a little element of musical chairs going on!

Though you are always welcome to pop in for fringe trims, please again be aware that there might be a small wait  for fringe trims before a seat becomes free on our busier days, and if possible, please try and drop by in the early part of the week to avoid a wait for yourself.

Thanks again for all your patience during our facelift, and we can't wait to see you on the other side! :)

Week 1 of renovation and relocation

Well, as mentioned in our previous blog update, the shopfitters began work earlier this week, and have made considerable tracks already. Just have a look at the photos of progress this week to see for yourself...

Out back is now a shell of its former self.

 In the first few days, flooring has come up, and walls have come off.

 Ruby and Zahra go exploring. The original doorway to the top floor

has been removed, and the brickwork exposed.

 Looking from the top floor - all the original brickwork to the left, which has been

covered for years, will ultimately be sandblasted and varnished.

 Downstairs seems to currently be acting as a holding area for all the rubble and 

rubbish coming down from upstairs!

 This neat little cubby in the basement is soon to become the main office, while

the rest of the basement will be converted into a staff break room.

 Here's a sneak preview of some of the lovely new industrial fixtures and fittings

which will feature heavily in Boilerhouse's new look.

More rubble downstairs, while Felix shows off the new site from outside.

Be sure to check back soon for more updates and previews as the work continues!

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.
