Congratulations to That hair salon sandbach on not only 1 but 2 awards!💜✂️

✨ We only went and did it! ✨

Some of you might remember that a little while ago we mentioned we’d been shortlisted for the for Best New or Refurbished Salon…

What we didn’t realise was that we’d also been shortlisted for Best Salon Team too… so imagine our shock when our name was announced for both awards! 🖤

We honestly couldn’t be prouder. These awards mean so much because they reflect everything we’ve worked so hard to build… a beautiful space, an amazing atmosphere, and a team that genuinely loves what they do.

The Best Salon Team award feels especially special to us… because as a rent-a-chair salon, every stylist runs their own independent business, yet somehow we’ve built the most supportive, creative and uplifting team that truly feels like a family. 🖤

The girls couldn’t be there to celebrate on the night (and they were so missed)… but rest assured, celebrations are definitely coming… and if you know this team, you’ll know we’ll do it our way! 😉

A huge thank you to our wonderful clients for your love and support… we wouldn’t be THAT Hair without you. 💛

An amazing children’s shoe shop in the centre of Sandbach and it sells great kids party gift ideas too! 💜

😒PLEASE SHOP LOCALLY 😒

Over the past few month's we have seen a significant decline in the number of our lovely customers visiting us.

We understand it is a very difficult time financially for lots of us, Ollie & Phee included, but before you decide to shop online for your children's shoes, please just consider these few points;

🤔 The O&P team is passionate about getting the RIGHT fit.
🤔 Our little customers GROW out, not WEAR out of our shoes.
🤔 We always try and give you growing room, so they last.
🤔 Poorly fitted shoes have a massive impact on your child's skeletal health.
🤔 The O&P team really cares about your children's foot health.

We don't do these posts lightly....if you stop using us, we really can't survive!

Please support all of your local independent businesses....they are really struggling 😢.

If you don't need new shoes, you can still help us stay afloat by; ❤️ our posts, sharing them, and commenting. Even spreading the word in the playground, or extra-curricular groups.

All these little things help boost our posts.

Many Thanks

O&P Team
❤️❤️

The secret’s out, Sandbach! 🎉

We’re so excited to announce that we’re opening a brand-new Play Café — right here in Sandbach, in the spot where Miola used to be! 📍

We’re creating a fun, welcoming space where little ones can play safely while grown-ups relax with great coffee, delicious food, and good company ☕🍰🎈

But before we open our doors, we’d love your input…
Calling all mums, dads, grandparents, carers, and childminders — what would you like to see inside?
👶 What kind of play areas or toys would your little ones love?
🍳 What should be on our menu to make your visits extra special?

Your ideas will help us shape the perfect place for local families to relax, connect, and play.

👉 Follow our social pages for sneak peeks, exclusive giveaways, discounts, and behind-the-scenes updates as our journey unfolds!
