Oliver’s Hair Studio has taken over the salon which forms part of the Alla Moda Collaborative space at 28 The Butts, with experienced hairdresser Claire Fenner at the helm.

Claire has been a hairdresser for 19 years, the last ten of which have been spent working in West Hallam. She has named her salon after her four-year-old son and says she’s excited to be realising her dream of running her own business.
