New Briggate hairdresser sees more opportunities ahead as Silsden expands

After more than 20 years as a hairdresser renting space at other shops, Laura Davison has opened her own business, called Themis, in Briggate. Laura is pictured standing (left) with Bethany Lazenby, who will be renting a chair at the newly refurbished shop, which is pictured below. Laura was a hairdresser in Bradford and Halifax before taking a chair in Cross Hills and then for the last two years or so in Silsden. She has gone into business on her own account in Silsden spurred by the prospect of increased local housing offering more new customers.                         

Laura has chosen the shop's name in memory of the legendary singer-songwriter and poet Jim Morrison, of the 1960s rock band The Doors, whose interests included Greek mythology.
