An entrepreneur expanding her Kirkley salon said the area's thriving business community has allowed her to take the next step.

Tanya Daniels owns Radiance Hair Salon in London Road South, which has been in business for about four years.

And now, Mrs Daniels is expanding into beauty treatments, opening up the first floor of her building and hiring extra staff.

'Our clients have been asking about beauty treatments for years,' she said. 'I thought 'I'm just going to do it'.'

Mrs Daniels worked in Kirkley since she was an apprentice and says she would not want to run a business anywhere else.

She said: 'I'm so glad I've been able to offer these services and help revitalise Kirkley.

'There's so many more businesses coming into the area and they're staying. I'd never open a salon anywhere else.'

Radiance Hair Salon now offers services such as manicures, pedicures, eyelash extensions and more.
