Popular Local Hairdresser Returns to the Village

Rate this item
(7 votes)

Many Sunbury residents will know Irving Childs and his son Saul who ran the Saul Irving hairdressing salon in Thames Street until Irving retired a couple of years ago – Saul had not been able to work for several years because of a serious back injury. When he retired, Irving, who for many years had been a stalwart of the Sunbury Business Community, rented out his shop to a lady to keep running a hairdressers there and take advantage of the goodwill that had been established. However, it seems that things have not worked out and Irving found it necessary to take legal action to recover monies owed from the sale of the business. The tenant has now left and declared herself bankrupt, and in removing her fixtures and fittings, caused considerable damage to the shop, as well as putting unpleasant posters in the shop window which several residents have reported to us. Saul is now happily well enough to re-open the salon as his own business, with the assistance of Carley and Karen.

The new telephone number will be posted on the website (www.saulhairdesign.com) and also the shop window from this Thursday, 22nd August, 2013. Any clients with existing appointments are urged to contact Saul on 07525 360517.

    Any posters that were out in the window were done so by current employee Karen!!!
    It is also important to note that when Irving SOLD THE BUSINESS FOR A CONSIDERABLE SUM HE TOLD THE NEW PROPRIETOR THAT HE WAS RETIRING AND SIGNED A LEGAL DOCUMENT THAT THEREFORE THE GOODWILL OF THE BUSINESS WAS BEING SOLD FOR THAT SUM. However Mr Child's broke that contract and continued to do work in the area contrary to what was agreed.
    Mr Child's was also receiving payment for the Frame Shop next door of the utilities which he made the previous tenant of his shop liable for. The previous tenant of his shop returned it to him in the state in which it was received in June 2011 having removed her own decorations, personal belongings and fixtures and fittings. It is also reported that Mr Child's claimed on insurance so that he was then able to return for his son, despite having sold it to the previous tenant for a premium. These are the facts. The previous tenant's bankruptcy was nothing to do with Mr Child's but due to her ex-husbands bankruptcy which forced her regretabbly to have to do the same.
