Hairdressers who worked at Deal’s Andrea Antoniou hairdressers in Queen Street are gathering for a reunion.

Former hairdresser Annemarie Huigen (nee Senior) is appealing for more ex-staff members to get in touch in advance of the get-together at the Sir Norman Wisdom pub on Saturday, May 3.

Mrs Huigen, said: “I am trying to track down as many as possible to join us.

“At the time it was the top hairdressers in Deal and had prices to match with a cut and blow Dry £18 - a lot of money in the 1980s.”

The premises was above what was then Brown & Philips - now the JD Wetherspoon’s Sir Norman Wisdom pub, the venue of the reunion.
