A new salon opening in Hitchin today is to donate the proceeds of its first week to charity.

The team at K’s Beauty, in Ickleford Road, are offering all treatments at half price during the week and donating all proceeds to Garden House Hospice Care.

The ladies behind the new salon are Katie Isobel Ward, Karan Nahal, Aimee Louise Cook, Abigail Olivia Batsford and Anjilie Dilon.

Katie and Karan said they had set up the new venture to work around their busy family and personal lives.

They added that they had chosen to support the hospice as it was a local charity dear to all their hearts.

A hospice spokeswoman said: “We’re very grateful for the generosity of K’s Beauty and wish them every success.”
