An award-winning salon is set to open its latest branch in Moulsham Street at the end of the month.

Rush, which now has more than 70 salons nationwide, will open on February 27 and franchisee Billy Lynch plans to offer amazing service and beautiful hair at affordable prices.

The team at Rush is renowned for creating the latest on-trend styles and techniques whilst offering the best customer service to all clients and their stylists are regulars at London and Milan Fashion Week, working backstage at Mary Katrantzou, Central Saint Martin’s and Gareth Pugh.

Mr Billy Lynch, who has over 20 years’ experience in hairdressing, found going into business with Rush an easy choice.

He said: “As a former salon owner I've always seen Rush as top of the hairdressing industry.

"When the opportunity came my way to open my own Rush salon in Chelmsford it was like a dream come true.

"I live in Essex and one of my favourite spots is Chelmsford.

"It's a great place to shop and has lots of character and class.

"Having been made a city after the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee, Chelmsford has really taken off and the nightlife is buzzing.

"Chelmsford really is the way forward.”

With a number of surrounding developments in the pipeline and Billy’s Rush franchise salon being in a prime location, Billy is looking forward to the exciting challenge of running his first Rush salon.

He added: "My goal is to create an outstanding team which will make a client’s visit to Rush Chelmsford a positive and memorable experience that will deliver beautiful hair at affordable prices and get the town talking.”
