Twins relocate hair salon to home of role model - former British Hairdresser of the Year Pat Graham

Natalie Crank and Natasha Langthorne joined forces in 2010 to open a successful hair and beauty salon as part of a national franchise group. After 10 years, they stepped out from behind the corporate world and launched their own salon brand - HEIR - which operated from Park Street, Lytham.

But earlier this year, they made the decision to relocate to a historic new venue at 17 Ribby Road, Wrea Green - once the home to the original Pat Graham Salon, founded in 1967 by Natalie’s first mentor, Pat Wood. Pat, a two-time British Hairdresser of the Year, was a major influence on Natalie’s early career, having guided her early years in the industry.

Natalie Crank said: “Relocating HEIR Salon to Wrea Green is a significant and meaningful step for us. This historic venue at 17 Ribby Road is where Pat Wood, my first mentor and a two-time British Hairdresser of the Year, began her remarkable career in 1967 with the opening of Pat Graham Hair Salon. While I didn’t work in this location myself, Pat’s guidance had a profound impact on my journey in hairdressing, and it’s a privilege to continue the legacy of excellence that began here.

“This move allows us to create a space that honours the past while providing our team and clients with a fresh, inspiring environment. We’re truly thankful for the trust and support of our team and clients as we continue to grow and evolve together”.
