A HAIRDRESSERS near Wallingford have been celebrating after 40 years of trading.

Margaret Simmons, the owner of Hair and Body Workshop, in Dorchester On Thames, said: “Saturday was a wonderful celebration. I opened the doors to the salon 40 years ago on July 4 and I still have some of my original clients coming each week, now bringing their children and grandchildren. The party simply highlighted what a fantastic community we have here in Dorchester and how lucky I am to be a part of it.”
