A TOP Cwmbran salon has enlisted a former Miss Wales to promote its new image.

Atomic Nails, at The Parade, Cwmbran town centre is about to get a whole new look, as well as a new name. So local model - and Free Press columnist - Sophia Cahill stepped up to promote the popular salon, which is to be re-branded as Harpers.

"Now that the salon provides such a wide range of beauty treatments the name Atomic Nails is no longer appropriate because people think we just do nails," said salon boss Bernie Harper. Since opening the salon two-years-ago Bernie Harper has built up a loyal customer base, with innovative business ideas such as the Princess Parties.

Young girls are treated to a limousine ride to the salon where a bubble machine is available to create a party atmosphere while the youngsters get their nail's done or their hair styled.

"Part of my vision for Harpers' future is to strive in terms of our nails and beauty products and treatments and we are trying our hardest to make sure we are the place to go," said Ms Harper.

Harpers offers mobile services, princess parties, beauty treatments, hairdressing and tanning. Call 01633 485445 for more information.
