An update from December 2022 stated that a visitor returning to Blackpool reported not being able find Tricia’s, but could see that Vanity Box was still there with a new facade and neat as a new pin although apparently not trading – Hillary would be just over 80 at the time. Mary’s Way was also trading then although under different management. Mary herself was interviewed by a radio news programme and sounded in fine fettle then.
From 1994, this slice of pure television gold focuses on the staff and customers of three Blackpool hair dressing salons. Stories of love, loss and gritty determination to carry on and make the best of things with a sense of humour abound. I am sure there are (still) salons all over the world where the same characters and stories abound.
