Sisters franchise together to open new salon, Rush Ipswich
Rush Ipswich opened on Saturday 19th March. The first Rush salon in Ipswich and the third franchise salon opening of 2016.
I spoke to Rush Ipswich franchisee, Cherie Turner who opened Rush Ipswich with her sister Betty. Cherie shares with us her reasons for franchising with Rush and what she’s looking forward to owning her own salon with her sister.
Hi Cherie, tell us about yourself
My name is Cherie Turner, I’ve been hairdressing since 1996, working my way up in another well established brand. For the last several years I’ve been working as a lecturer, teaching and assessing hairdressing.
What attracted you to Rush?
I was attracted to the quality of the brand and Rush’s strong customer focused attitude. Rush have a great family ethos and it’s great to work directly with the Co-Founders, you wouldn’t get that with a lot of other companies. Rush have a great team to support franchisees so I wanted to be part of that.
