Dear Guests,
It is with a heavy heart that we share some very difficult news.
After 17 wonderful years, Arena Creative Hair will be entering liquidation and will be closing its doors. This has not been an easy decision, and it comes after doing everything we possibly could to continue trading in what has been an increasingly challenging climate.
We are incredibly proud of what Arena has been, not just a salon, but a space filled with creativity, care, and connection. None of this would have been possible without you, our loyal and supportive guests. Your kindness, trust, and continued support over the years have meant more than we can ever truly express.
THANK YOU
We appreciate that this news may come as a surprise. Please know this decision has not been taken lightly, and we have worked hard behind the scenes to explore every possible option before reaching this point.
THE TEAM
We would also like to take a moment to recognise our incredible team. Their talent, dedication, and passion have been at the heart of everything Arena has stood for. As they move on to new opportunities, we would be so grateful if you continued to support them in the future. If you would like help to stay in touch with your stylist, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us and we will do our best to assist.
As many of you will know, they are exceptionally talented and consistently deliver a five-star level of service.
They have been trained to a very high standard and bring with them a wealth of experience, creativity, and professionalism. We are immensely proud of each and every one of them.
As they look for new opportunities, we would be truly grateful if you could keep them in mind. If you are aware of any opportunities, or would like to be connected, please get in touch with myself (Lara) directly.
DEPOSITS
If you have paid a deposit for a future appointment, please contact Lara (owner) using the number above. As the business is entering liquidation, we will provide guidance on the next steps regarding your deposit.
We will do our best to resolve your deposit.
If you would like to continue your hair journey with one of our team members in their next location, please also get in touch and we will be happy to guide you.
We are currently contacting any remaining clients and will continue to do our very best to reach everyone.
NEXT STEPS
This is a very emotional time for everyone involved, and we kindly ask for your patience and understanding while we work through the next steps.
For clients with upcoming appointments, we will be in touch directly over the coming days with further information.
Contact Lara via email: [email protected]
Please do not contact us via our phone number, as we won't always be able to pick up the calls.
From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for being part of our journey over the past 17 years. It has truly meant everything to us.
With love and gratitude,
Lara & Richard Wintle
& The Arena Team
