Award winning Altrincham salon Elliot McClarance has been established for 30 years, and has been described as ‘the largest, most successful salon in the north west’.

The independent salon, which employs a team of 16, has a dedicated colour department and an in house specialist extension expert, offering a complimentary consultation.

There is also a Phyto treatment centre, and the salon boasts a capillicam machine with free advice on hair and scalp analysis. Philip Kingsley Elastisizer treatments are also available.

The salon, which scored 10/10 in a Sunday newspaper style section, is constantly developing its winning formula. New for 2009 is the Lierac Paris face and body product range - visit www.aveodirect.co.uk for the salon’s online shop. The new Bridal Hair department will also be up and running in the spring.

With all this on offer, prices at the salon are reasonable, with a cut and finish from £28.
