A new business combining a contemporary hair salon with the owner’s independent clothing brand will open in Ludlow town centre before Christmas.
Agent Halls Commercial has let 46, The Bull Ring to Helen Davies, owner of Pickle Studios, who is busy preparing to launch her exciting new concept combining beauty, fashion and lifestyle in the popular South Shropshire town.
“I’m incredibly excited to be bringing Pickle Studios to the heart of Ludlow,” said Helen. “Having owned two successful hair salons, I wanted to create something a little different this time – a space that brings together my love of hairdressing, fashion and creativity.
“Pickle Studios will be home to a beautiful, contemporary hair salon alongside my independent clothing brand, Lil and the Pickle, which was born from my charity work teaching hairdressing to vulnerable communities in India.
“The idea is to create somewhere that feels more like a destination than a traditional salon or shop, somewhere people can come to have their hair done, discover something special to wear and enjoy a really lovely experience.
“Ludlow is such a wonderful town, full of independent businesses and character and I’m really looking forward to becoming part of that community.
“We are currently working hard behind the scenes to bring everything together and are hoping to welcome our first customers before Christmas.”
Pickle Studios will be moving into Grade II listed, late 18th-century, refurbished premises with 514 square feet of open plan retail space and a 447 square feet basement.
James Evans, head of Halls Commercial, says he is delighted to have secured such an exciting new lifestyle concept business for Ludlow.
“This letting brings a new, independent business to Ludlow town centre, contributing to the town’s vibrant independent retail and business community,” he added. “The ambition of Pickle Studios is to create a distinctive destination that encourages customers to spend time, explore and discover something different.
“Helen was attracted to Ludlow because of its strong independent business community, distinctive character, vibrant town centre and again shows the attractions of this lovely town to retailers”
