John newman hairdressing celebrates a centenary of hairdressing

John Newman Hairdressing & Beauty has celebrates its centenary of trading in the main ‘high street’ of Rothwell, Northamptonshire.

Celebrating the occasion with an open evening for the staff, family, friends, suppliers and business colleagues, the company commemorated the occasion with an open-door evening for all to enjoy.

Shirley Newman, salon director, is at the helm of the business following the early retirement of her husband, John Newman, from ill health nearly 10 years ago, and is the third generation to run the family salon. Shirley said: “This is such a fantastic achievement to still be here after 100 years in Rothwell, and such credit and tribute to the Newman family’s spirit. The continued success we have witnessed is all down to our incredibly loyal and innovative staff who have been constantly evolving the John Newman Hairdressing & Beauty brand and taking us into the 21st century.

“It is a huge achievement to have survived the pandemic, during which time the business had to close. However, we are stronger today than ever, thanks to our loyal customers and amazing staff. Today we have furthered our success winning many local awards, with clients coming far and wide to enjoy the crafting of the finest hairstyles, treatments, and techniques that our award-winning hair and beauty salon offers.

“The team has not only put their heart and soul into the business, but they have also donated their own personal time to support many local charities, some of which we have raised money for during our centenary celebrations.

“I thank everyone past and present for supporting us through the good times and the hard times. Without our outstanding customers we wouldn’t be here today. A big thank you goes out to everyone for their long-standing and loyal custom, and we look forward to welcoming everyone, once again, to continue our very proud and strong heritage in Rothwell.”

The John Newman Hairdressing & Beauty team arranged a raffle to support the local societies and associations close to their hearts, which included the Alzheimer’s Society, the Stroke Association, and Twinkling Stars Appeal for the Kettering General Hospital Charity Fund.
