A year ago I wrote that this beauty salon has moved from Strath yet the same out of date photo is being used - so I attach an up to date one. It is now by the Community Centre and school. The salon has tanning towers, beauty treatments and hairdressing. Hairdresser Gloria does an excellent job and the place is very friendly and welcoming to visitors as well as the many local people who use it.
