There’s a new hair salon coming to the High Street in Cuckfield this month.

Oliver Cunningham will be opening its doors in the shop which was formerly Nicky C Lifestyle. “The visual look of my new salon is going to be classic with an eccentric twist, mixing period features with quirky pieces,” Oliver (right) commented. “I want my clients to feel at home in the space; not imposing or intimidating, more like a relaxed private members club or boutique hotel ambience.”

Oliver has been running his own salon in an exclusive and private location elsewhere in Sussex for the past three years but has now decided to grow the business and venture on to the High Street.

“I love Cuckfield. It is most definitely one of the prettiest villages in Sussex. I think it’s perfect for us. It’s very central for all our clients from London and Brighton. I hope to make the village proud and add something a little different to the already beautiful scattering of shops,” Oliver said.

All the team of stylists in the Cuckfield salon are London-trained and had long careers at elite salons. The opening times initially will be Monday to Friday 10am-6pm and Saturday 9am-5pm.
