Bingham salon’s customer experience improved thanks to UKSPF support
Last updated: 21/3/2025
A hair salon in Bingham has benefitted from improvements and repairs to its stylish grade II listed premises and improved its customer experience thanks to an allocation from Rushcliffe Borough Council and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF).
Blu Salon on Needham Street in the town has benefitted from a range of upgrades including a state-of-the-art energy-efficient Aquaflow water heating system designed specifically for salon environments.
The site has also seen repair and restoration of its windows that required repainting and the installation of new double-glazing units to improve insulation and maintain the building's historical integrity.
Managing Director Lisa Daws said: “The Aquaflow system has transformed our salon’s efficiency, client experience and energy usage. It provides a consistent, high-pressure hot water supply to multiple basins simultaneously, eliminating fluctuations in temperature.
“This means our clients now enjoy a more comfortable, seamless experience. For our stylists, the improved water pressure and stability mean they can work more efficiently without the frustration of temperature drops or interruptions.
“It reduces heat loss and cutting down on excessive energy consumption. This not only lowers our running costs but also aligns with our commitment to sustainability.
“We are incredibly grateful for the funding that made this upgrade possible and excited to see the long-term benefits it brings to our salon.”
RBC’s Deputy Leader Cllr Abby Brennan recently visited the salon to take a look at the improvements.
She said: “It’s heartening to see a business able to benefit operationally from UKSPF funding and at the same time ensure this wonderfully restored grade II listed building can maintain its historical look and feel.
“Anything that can improve the customer experience we know is vital for any business and we’re very pleased the UKSPF allocation has given Lisa and the team the opportunity to further enhance their services.”
