Beauty businesses now beneath family roof
A MOTHER and daughter are proving they make a beautiful partnership, after bringing their businesses together under one roof.
Grace and Elegance Beauty Boutique, set up by Grace Sutherland, 24, joined forces with Curl Up and Dye, her mother Elaine’s Middlesbrough hair salon, this month, after seeing an opportunity to bring their two services together.
Grace moved from her old premises in Linthorpe, to her mother’s three- story salon in St Cuthbert’s Court where she now occupies the second floor.
Grace said: “Moving into my mother’s premises seemed to be a natural step for the business. The services that we offer complement each other well, so relocating was a sensible way to take my business forward.

“Grace and Elegance Beauty Boutique got off to a great start separately, but I hope that, by joining forces with my mother’s business Curl Up and Dye, I will be able to grow my client base, and ultimately my business.”
The company was set up two years ago, when Grace was just 22 years old. She was supported through the start up process by Business Link adviser Lisa Gowler, who helped source funding through the North East England Investment Centre (NEEIC) to cover legal costs and staff training.
