DollFace Beauty at Windmill Shopping Village in Yapton Road, took to social media this week to tell customers that gossip magazines would no longer be in the reception area.

Melisa Bellikli, who owns the salon with her sister Selma, said: “Following the devastating suicide of Caroline Flack, DollFace Beauty will now provide a refreshing, positive and inspiring alternative reading material, such as self growth books, inspirational mindfulness, home decor and upcycling magazines and food magazines — all promoting well being and a positive outlook on life.

“We feel it’s time we all make a positive difference in such an influential industry, and believe that this small adjustment will help reduce the amount of negativity.”

Melisa said the aim is to ‘start a movement’ and for other salons to follow suit. 

She added: “It is about encouraging positivity and being kind.”
