A 20-year-old beauty technician is "very excited" to be launching a new salon in one of Norwich's most historic hotels.
Ellie Wilson is due to open Enhance Beauty and Aesthetics in The Maids Head Hotel in Tombland early next month, a "big next step" for the Norwich City College graduate.
Ms Wilson started her own business when she first attended college and achieved her nail certificate, offering treatments from a room at her home.
As she qualified in more elements of beauty she added these to her treatment list, allowing her to go from "strength to strength" and soon found she had a large client portfolio.
After qualifying in beauty training from college, Ellie continued to add to her repertoire with dermaplaning, microneedling and lashes.

Now, she is preparing to launch Enhance in the Maids Head on December 4.
"I'm really looking forward to growing my business even further," she said.
"From a room at home and then renting at a salon and now this. I'm very, very excited to be able to expand and open a salon of my own."
Christine Malcolm, Maids Hotel general manager, added: "We are very pleased to be welcoming Enhance.
"The beauty rooms located in the historic Maids Head are absolutely delightful.
"We wish Ellie every success as we begin this new partnership."
