Want to know why everyone in Towcester is just so drop dead gorgeous all the time (who, moi?)? Well I’ll tell you: Muddy Award winning The Beauty Works, based at the Bell Plantation, is their secret weapon. This stylish, boutique salon run by Joanna Curley (what a great name for a hair stylist!) and her friendly team, is the perfect pitstop for everything you need to keep you supermodel fresh and feeling fine.

From a cut and colour to hair extensions, deep conditioning and wedding styling, your tresses are in very safe hands. You can also get a mani, pedi, gel nails, brows and lashes and a facial while you’re here, all the while relaxing in the gorgeously stylish surroundings. Want to know the best thing though? Well, the best thing after all the fabulous treatments, that is. There’s an actual bar where you can enjoy a Beauty Works gin and tonic while you get beautified. Perfect for a Friday post-work pamper. Oh, and there’s a salon dog too. And free parking. Book me in!
