"The furthest I have lived is Huntly Street, and I would not consider moving any further!"

Niki has recently opened up a new salon within the Eisi Tan premises at 87B Church Street, and explains why: "I decided that the North could do with something new, so I embarked on an Eye Lash Perming course. It is totally exclusive to Niki’s Beauty Salon. Other treats we are offering at the moment include a Millennium Package of makeovers. Welcome to my world, and next time you’re passing why not come inside and see for your self what treats are in store!"
