Two sisters from Ravenshead have become first-time business owners after taking on a popular Mansfield hair and beauty salon.

Jessica Noon (26) and Olivia Noon (20) said when they were offered the chance to take over the running of Sunshine Hair and Body, based in Berry Hill Quarry, it was too good an opportunity to turn down.

Jessica works at a local beauty wholesaler and is trained in beauty and barbering.

Recently-qualified Olivia had been working at Sunshine before taking over as co-owner.

Olivia said: “It’s always been my dream to run my own salon and being able to do it with my sister is just the perfect scenario.

“We get on really well and it’ll be nice to spend more time together.

“We have loads of ideas to move the salon forward and, working with our amazing manager, Libby Holland, we are really excited for the future of the business and to welcome new clients as well as our existing ones.

Sunshine Hair and Body is based at 2 Madeline Court, Mansfield, and is open Tuesday to Saturday.
