An award-winning salon has opened a branch in Northwood, creating 11 jobs.

Rush Hair snipped the ribbon at the 87m² premises formerly home to African restaurant Mombasa Hut, in Maxwell Road, on Saturday (December 6).

Company co-founder Andy Phouli said: “Northwood is a great location for Rush to be expanding into. I’m sure that the Northwood community will welcome us with wide arms.

“I know that the Northwood team were hugely excited for the salon opening and can’t wait to welcome the Northwood community into the salon and show them what Rush is all about. I wish the salon every success in the future.”

The company was established in 1994 and now runs 66 salons across London and south-east England. It has won 52 industry awards, including London Hairdresser of the Year.
