FenneeKay Hair & Beauty in Southport is celebrating its fifth birthday, with an invitation for people to call in.
The salon, at 17 Lord Street – near the junction with Lord Street West – is hosting a special birthday celebration from 2pm onwards on Saturday 11th April 2026.
Visitors can enjoy live music by local singer Jenny Wren plus hot and cold drinks including Prosecco, Nosecco, wine, beer and more.
FenneeKay Hair & Beauty is run by husband and wife Chris and Sarah Hesketh, who tied the knot last year after eight years together.
They said: “We are really excited to be celebrating our fifth birthday!
“We’d love to welcome all our clients, both past and present, and anyone else who’d like to call in and join us on the day.
“Five years is a great milestone for us to reach.
“We’re really pleased to have Jenny Wren singing with us; she sang at our wedding last year, she was brilliant!
“We got married at St Philip’s Church and then had our wedding reception at West Lancs Yacht Club in Southport. It was really hot weather! We had such a brilliant day. There were so many people there, including lots of our clients.
“Sarah had worked in her previous shop for 16 years, while I was a bit of a hairdressing nomad.
“We were both ready to open a new salon and when we saw the former Flutterby’s salon being advertised, we thought it was the perfect opportunity for us.
“It was during the Covid lockdown when we launched the business.
“It was me, Sarah and Sarah’s Mum, Sue, who did all the decorating.
“There were some nerves about opening, but when you’re good at what you do, you charge reasonable prices and you have great customers, then it will work.
“Five years on, and things are going very well, we are growing.
“We are both colour technicians; I used to go all over the UK with Lisap LK.
“We’d describe FenneeKay Hair & Beauty as somewhere that’s very relaxed, welcoming, and affordable. Some other places out there charge double the prices we do.
“We are very anxiety friendly, there’s no need for anyone who comes in to feel nervous.”
This is an exciting year for Southport. The 154th Open Golf Championship is coming to Royal Birkdale Golf Club this summer.
There are four major new events planned, all centred on Lord Street, which began with Lightport in February and continue with Cristal Palace in April, the Big Top Festival in May and Books Alice in October.
Chris and Sarah said: “Lightport was brilliant! What an exciting new event. And there’s more to come.
“All the things they are organising now are really good for Southport. It’s good to see.
“We need to see more people coming to the town, and more new investment.
“In recent years there has been so much happening in the Northern Quarter, with the likes of The Grand, The Bold and the Lord Street Hotel.
“We need more at this end of Lord Street!
“It’s going to be exciting seeing building work starting at The Garrick in May, then hopefully the new Wetherspoon Hotel will start soon too. Everything takes time.
“We’re busy anyway, we just love to see Southport doing well.
“We’re so proud that FenneeKay Hair & Beauty is celebrating our fifth birthday.
“We’d like to say a huge thank you to all our customers from over these five years. Without them, this success wouldn’t happen.”
