Before & After Photos of ALD prmises at Unit 3 Gateshead

When Julie, Julia and Paula first created ALD Hair & Beauty Academy they were based at Team Valley Trading Estate.  After a few years the group numbers increased, more staff joined so more rooms were required to help the business grow.  They found Unit 3 Swan Street and after lots of planning and developing converted it into a fully functional salon and academy.

Here's a few before and after photos..





New Floors, walls and sections put in, sinks installed, etc, lots of hard work but worth it...
