They said: “We just want to flow along like we are, we aren’t interested in being this big salon, we just want to float along like us, keeping our clients happy, we think sometimes it can be the smaller the better.

“We have just worked together for that long.”

The salon has several chairs available, with Zoe and Linzi saying they do get filled up with the pair working on different clients in the shop.
