Perfect Look has opened its doors in Catcote Road, Hartlepool, with keen entrepreneur Tara Bradley, 29, in charge.

Talented Tara is also a student at Teesside University in Middlesbrough, where she is studying radiography.

But she has still had time to open up Perfect Look, where she employs two part-time staff as well as providing self employment opportunities within the salon for three hairdressers and one beautician.

Also helping out is fiancé Dean McBean, 30, who is assisting Tara with the general running of the business.

Tara explained how she managed to handle two time-consuming ventures.
She said: "I am just finishing my first year at uni and I have two more exams.

After that, my second year does not start until October which means I can get the business up and running.

"Although it is going to be hard, you have just got to get on with it."

Tara added: "I've always wanted to have my own business and I thought this was an opportunity to have beauticians and hairstylists under one
roof.

"I also wanted to create some employment and give people a chance to become self employed as well which means they can build up their own clientele."
