Salon was opened by Benidorm cast members

As Kool & The Gang sang "Oh yes it´s ladies night and the feeling´s right, Oh yes it´s ladies night, Oh what a night" - and so it shall be this Thursday at Claire´s Hair, Nail & Beauty Salon in Albir.

The salon was opened in October 2011 by Benidorm cast members Sherrie Hewson and Tim Healy - who are both clients of the salon. Claire did the nails for both of them plus other cast members during filming of the 5th series - incase you are not aware, Tim plays a cross dresser hence the nails! Matthew Kelly also came along to the opening so as you can see her client list is quite impressive. Who knows, as they are currently filming series 6 you may even bump into one of the cast there....

Claire, an expert at knowing what us ladies need and want is hosting a special "Ladies night" starting at 6pm on the evening of Thursday 18th April.

Luxurious interior...

Entry is free and you will have the opportunity to look around the plush interior and talk with the staff. Throughout the evening there will be demonstrations and consultations - Claire was telling me about a new amazing machine called "Body Beautiful" where you can drop a dress size in only 6 sessions !

There will be an Indian buffet and Cava provided by Saritas - probably one of the best Indian restaurants on the Costa Blanca - there is no charge but you are asked to make a donation. Throughout the evening there will be a raffle and also bids for a man´s "back wax" will be taking place (there is already a volunteer earmarked for this) ... with proceeds going towards the Relleu Children´s Orphanage - so please be generous for this very worthy cause.

Crowds attending the grand opening

There will be many special offers and discounts on procedures booked that evening such as 50% off teeth whitening and 10% off botox, so come with your diary to take advantage of these discounts. You can also chose to relax by having a free 10 minute Indian Head Massage session or browse at some of the beautiful jewellry which will be on sale.

Tarrick from Gold Rush Javea will also be there -  you can bring in any gold and silver you would like valued or if you want to sell anything, especially odd or broken pieces he has one of the best reputations along the coast on prices.... so you may even leave richer than when you walked in!

I´m looking forward to a lovely girly evening and hope to see some of you there too - incase you are not sure where exactly Claires is located it is on the Avd del Albir, the main road running towards the beach. Go over the Lidl roundabout and head straight down.... it is located to the side of the Norwegian Bok Cafe (with the huge sun terrace and awnings) on the left hand side and opposite the Chinese restaurant. You can park in the municipal carpark where the Sunday market is held and walk up, heading away from the beach.
