A TEENAGER from Lechlade has taken a huge leap into the business world by opening her first beauty salon.

Hannah Williams, 18, opened the doors of A Little Luxury earlier this month. The salon, run solely by her, offers waxing, ear piercing, manicures, massages and more.

After a quiet start, Hannah said she has already noticed it getting busier as more people start to hear about her business.

"Lots of people have come in to get price lists," said Hannah. "It's brilliant."

The former Farmor's School pupil studied beauty therapy at Swindon College and New College while also working Saturday shifts at another salon in Cirencester.

She currently lives at home in Lechlade with her parents and has two brothers, aged 22 and 15 and a six-year-old sister.

"My sister loves it," added Hannah. "She wants to work here already. My family have all been great. They have all helped."

Hannah said despite opening her first business at such a young age, she said many of her friends and family members have said how proud they are of her.

Tonight (Friday) she is hosting an open evening at A Little Luxury between 7-9pm where she will hand out champagne, discounts and treatment deals.
