Love Hair Broadway looking for new home after flood

Love Hair in Broadway was “destroyed” after leak resulted in water gushing through the ceiling.

Now, staff have launched a search to find a temporary venue to use while repairs get underway.

“This has been a really challenging time,” said owner Katie Hemming.

“We are looking for a building we could use whilst our salon is being refitted, ideally in Broadway. 

“My friend Kirsty (Cameron) from the Courtyard is letting us use her lovely salon in Blackminster on days she isn't working so we can keep a steady flow of clients looked after. 

“The salon is being ripped out and dried as we speak and hopefully be refitted as soon as possible.”

Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service was called to Love Hair shortly after 9.30pm on Tuesday (May 16).

A crew from the Broadway station arrived to find a leak in the property.

“The water supply was isolated using spreaders and clamps with salvage put in place,” a HWFRS spokesperson explained.

“The ceiling was removed using small tools.”

Speaking after she discovered what had happened, Katie said: “When we arrived, we couldn’t quite believe it.

“Firefighters were called and were amazing, but it was too late.

“Our salon has been destroyed.”

She added: “We are devastated and hope it can be a fast turnaround so our lovely clients don’t have too much disruption.

“Thank you for everyone’s support from all the other shop owners, friends, family, our team and all our clients.

“We are sorry to let you down but look forward to seeing you all as soon as possible.”
