Celebrating 20 years of Blade Inclusive Salon

Written By Caroline Parnis

In August 2026 we celebrated our 20th anniversary at Blade Inclusive Salon!

Supported by some fantastic local businesses and alongside our nearest and dearest, we chose to make our birthday not just a celebration of our success, but a fundrasier for a charity we hold close to our hearts.

Thank you to all our customers, guests and friends who joined us on Saturday 22nd August. We kicked off celebrations with a mini disco from Connor B Entertainment, some free goody bags for all the children and an incredible raffle provided by local businesses. Our friends at Catitudemagic stalled up outside to share their autism-themed products, and together we helped raised £279 for Topcats Charity in Lowestoft.

We can’t believe it’s been 20 years since Blade opened it’s doors, and 6 years of the Sensory Studio. Serving our community has been a huge blessing to us, and we are so grateful that we get to do what we love every day! Creating a sanctuary for every client who walks in our door, has meant that we also work in an incredible envrionment. Everyday we choose joy, acceptance and understanding for our clients and each other.

Thank you for being a part of that journey, and here’s to many more years of community, support, and beautiful hair.
