One of Verwood’s town centre services will close its doors on October 10th after nine years of operation.

Sara’s Barber Shop, on Vicarage Road, posted a message on social media today reminding her clients that don’t already know, that they will be closing their doors for the final time next week.

Owner Sara told VerwoodToday.co.uk the reasons for closing include the effects of COVID-19, the arrival of local competition, and recent allegations online which turned out to be false.

Sara added: “Thank you to our loyal customers from the last nine years.”

Sara will now close the shop and offer mobile appointments only between Tuesday and Friday, which can be booked on 07835 668318. The company’s Facebook page will close at the end of next week also.
