Flori Beauty Que set to open in Worcester's City Walls Road

Flori Balasi said she is thrilled to be opening Flori Beauty Que in her adopted home city. 

The 54-year-old moved to the city in 2018 with her husband and sons and the family have lived in Ronkswood ever since. 

Flori has always worked as a beautician, both in Romania and in Worcester, but she had never had the chance to own her own business before. 

"I'm looking forward to finally opening - I'm nervous too," Mrs Balasi said.

"When I applied to the council to give me planning permission for a salon here it took eight months. 

"Since July I have been getting it ready, and we are just doing the finishing touches. 

"It is a relief to be ready."

Flori Beauty Que will be offering various treatments including waxing, pedicures and facial treatments.

"It is me with Paula, our hairdresser. 

"It is a difficult climate and maybe not the right moment - but I love what I am doing.

"I didn't want it to put me off.

"I wanted to do it for Worcester, I'm in love with Worcester, we have made a life here."

"Everyone is welcome to pop in," Mrs Balasi said.
