A TANNING salon has reopened at new premises in Heybridge after a successful start up.

The Maldon Rays Tanning Salon in Bentalls Shopping Centre, Heybridge was first opened in October 2014 by owner Lydia Eadon, and re-opened in a larger store with more facilities and staff on Friday.

Lydia said: “After opening the shop quickly started pulling in customers with feedback about the team being so lovely and friendly at the top of the list.

“At the time I had just two members of staff helping me to make it a success. I now have four, and am looking to increase this number in the near future.

“We are now at a point where we have outgrown the salon and need more space to accommodate more sunbeds, a new nail bar and a very stylish spacious beauty treatment room.

“The business has grown beyond my wildest dreams and I couldn't be happier. The customers are very excited with the news of the new shop and I can’t wait to show them. I am looking forward to many more years at Bentalls complex and once again can’t believe how it turned out.”
