Salon No.13

Looking for a Christmas fair to run a stall this year? My daughters school are after some traders for their fair on Saturday December 5th in Hook if anyone would like more information drop me a DM.

SURBITON I NEED YOUR HELP

I hope this post finds you well. As the owner of Salon No.13 here in the town, a small independent business I get emails like this post a lot so I’m aware of how annoying they can be. However as a father with a child now in school I have succumbed to the PSA.

My daughter Elle goes to St Paul’s School in Hook and we are fundraising to get a new music room build for the school as quite frankly the existing one should be illegal. We are half way to our target of £60,000 which has solely been raised through the PSA of the school. This year I joined the team to cycle from London to Brighton in June but I wasn’t done there.

This year I have been tasked with sourcing raffle prizes for the school quiz and the Christmas raffle in the hope of making it our most successful yet. Again, I receive emails like this so I am very aware how annoying they can be and how saturating they can become. Please feel free to ignore this, politely decline or indeed if you’re in a position to help then I’d love to hear from you.
Basically I’m just looking for anything you could donate for 2 raffles we have coming up on our quiz night and Christmas fair, need it be a voucher, a lunch, a dinner etc…..

Should you have reached your charitable quota for the year then fear not, I shall not hold it against you lol as I’ve already said I know how annoying these things can be.

Should it be a yes we can help then I look forward to hearing from you, drop me a PM

Have a great day

It’s happening……first step Santa and Christmas window competition then hopefully this could lead to Christmas lights finally being back in our town!!!! We need all businesses and of course the community to support this event, what is the saying it take a village and all…..let’s make this happen Surbiton!!!!

CALLING CENTRAL SURBITON SHOP FRONT BUSINESSES!! Now that the Celebrate Surbiton events are finished, the Surbiton Town Centre Partnership and The Community Brain are looking towards Christmas! The Christmas event on the station forecourt on Thursday December 3rd has already been announced and thanks to the Community Brain looks like being a Christmas Extravaganza not to be missed! As well as a market, expect lights switching on, Christmas choirs and of course Santa!

Over the next while we’ll be looking for local central businesses to get more involved - specifically dress up your windows for Christmas and take part in the children’s hunt for Santa’s reindeer. We’ll supply the reindeer’s, you just need to feature them in your Christmassy window! There will be a prize for the best dressed window and all those on the Christmas Trail will be part of the map. Of course this is also a great opportunity for you to devise your own attraction for your shop/pub/cafe/restaurant etc and maximise the Christmas spirit on the evening of the 3rd through to Christmas Eve. The kids trail will be on all through this time period.

We’re hoping to physically visit as many businesses as possible to get you on board but you can help by volunteering. Please get in touch using the email address on the leaflet [email protected]

If you’re looking for a swim school for your kids or indeed yourself I couldn’t recommended Ali and Ray enough. They took over Chessington Pool this year and it is better than it ever was…..both my kids go here and LOVE it! Aqua Babies & Kiddies Surrey Swim School

PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE AN APPOINTMENT THIS WEEK……

Our air con has broken…..totally overworked and underpaid this summer. I’ve been trying in vain to get an engineer to fix it for me but that’s like trying to get blood from a stone!!!

We have fans and desk fans but beware the salon is hot! If you feel too uncomfortable to come see us this week please let us know and we can reschedule you to our next available day.

Apologies in advance but it’s out of my hands. Pray to the aircon gods for us that we manage to get an engineer or better still if you know one please send them my way.

With Salon Awards – I just got recognised as one of their top fans! 🎉

So we’re delighted to announce that we have been shortlisted as Finalists at this years The UK Hair and Beauty Awards next month in Manchester. Best dust off the tux and see if we can bring it home this year……🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Wow…..as if this just happened today?!?! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🥳🥳 Salon Awards thank you so much, you’ve made our birthday one to remember

6 whole years since we opened our doors and what a blast we have had. Thank you to everyone who has come through the door and continues to do so, without you all we wouldn’t have the salon we have today. Never in my wildest dreams did I dare to believe it would become the business it has today. The salon was created when I and a lot of the team lost our jobs abruptly in 2020 just before lockdown, and I can safely say we have never been as busy. So thank you to everyone for keeping the dream alive. We’ve had our ups and downs over the last few years with everything possible thrown at us, from babies, to weddings to sadly a huge team loss. But together we’ve got through it all and will continue to do so. When your team become your family……stronger together with a few awards along the way.
Here’s to the next six years of business and mayhem, and there’s no one I’d rather do it with than team 13
Love to all
Andrew
