Joshua John Hairdressing is a hair and beauty salon established by Joshua Davie in October 2016. The premises also house a retail outlet to sell hair and beauty products.
25-year-old Davie had been renting a chair in a salon in the small town of Aberfeldy. When he decided to open up his own salon, he approached responsible finance provider, DSL Business Finance, for a loan in July 2016. That loan helped him start his new business by leasing the old library building in the town centre and fitting it out, thereby bringing a derelict building in the centre of a small town back into use.
As part of his expansion and diversification plan Joshua recently purchased a newsagent next door when the retirement of its owner threatened the shop – relied upon by many locals – with closure. He now has two businesses running side by side with a strong team of 4 full time and 6 part time staff – and has reinvigorated a high street.
