Guinot welcomes new franchisee

Beauty brand Guinot joined its newest franchisee, Narinder Joshi, in December to cut the ribbon to his new franchise salon, located in Windsor.

Narinder is a successful entrepreneur who was looking for a strong investment and an exciting new business venture. With an acquired building in Windsor already, he was looking for the right opportunity to get the most out of this prime-position property.

Narinder decided to approach Guinot to discuss the franchise opportunity, which proved to be the right choice for him. After appointing Kirsty Dorey as the salon manager, Narinder, with the support of the Guinot franchise team, officially opened the ninth franchise salon in Guinot’s UK and Ireland network.

The new salon in Windsor features a spacious reception area, five treatment rooms and a stylish retail space. The redundant open-plan basement area, previously used for storage, has been transformed into four treatment rooms, a client waiting area, a staff kitchen and a toilet.

The salon now showcases the iconic red and white colour scheme associated with the Guinot brand, and the five treatment rooms have been kitted out with state-of-the-art equipment and products needed to carry out the full range of Guinot treatments. 

Narinder says: “This has been a marathon, not a sprint. Every detail has been taken into account to produce a wonderful space for clients to enjoy and relax in. It has taken me a long time to get to the grand opening, but once we had the Guinot brand on board everything clicked into place.

“I am very proud of my team, headed by salon manager Kirsty Dorey, who I am sure will offer a first-class service to all our clients. It was fabulous to see such a wonderful turnout for the grand opening.”
