My dream of a beauty salon has been delivered - with the transformation of an old post office
“The old post office is ideal as it’s not too far for my old clients and the footfall in the area is great”
Aby Elliott is celebrating the dream of opening her own beauty salon coming true - in a former post office in St Annes.
Her Radiance salon is now open in what was the St David’s Road North sub-post office, and Aby is delighted with the location and really looking forward to the future.
The 30-year-old who grew up in South Shore has bee working at the Wild Envy salon for the last seven years but has always held ambitions to strike out on her own.

“I loved working there, it was a great team and we are still working together with a training academy but as I turned 30, I thought now was the time to go for a salon of my own,” she said.
“The old post office is ideal as it’s not too far for my old clients and the footfall in the area is great.”
Aby, a former pupil of Highfield Leadership Academy, specialises in eyelashes and eyebrows and plans to take on staff in due course, particularly as there is a high demand for nails work.
“There is plenty of business around,” she added. “There are always people moving into the area and girls growing older and looking for work on their nails so I’m excited about the future.”
