  It was a wonderful evening, lots of friends & clients turned up for the occasion of Gillian's official opening which was a great success.Chairman of DDC, Cllr Sue Nicholas & New Deputy Mayor Cllr Viv Revell both said some very encouraging words & wished local girl Gillian every success in her New Salon. The Chinese buffet courtesy of Tony at Chapter Eight was enjoyed by one & all. Many thanks to Tony for his very kind gesture.

  Just popping back to say a Big Thank You to the Dover Express team, Andy, Phil & Jamie, for coverage in Thursday's paper
  
  Gillian is currently looking into complimentary massage treatments for local people with various health problems, therefore giving something back to the community I will keep you posted on this further down the line.
  
  Also, don't forget that Massage & Hairdressing discounts still apply for Doverforum members on their first visit to Gillian's Salon at 16 Castle Street, Dover
  
  And Happy Birthday today Gillian x
