A TIME FOR CHANGE.

One of Ely’s most established hair salons Snipetts of 40 years is changing ownership. Elspeth Sculthorpe who was co-owner and went onto own Snipetts is handing over ownership to Jenna Bradley. Elspeth enjoyed many years at the rein of Snipetts but is now going to be enjoying the extra time with her family. Elspeth had many successful years running the business and carrying on the great Snipetts name which was started some 40 years ago by Valerie Pope and Glynis Houghton. Elspeth thanks her loyal and returning customers for the years of custom and her hard working and dedicated staff. In keeping with the great tradition of strong independent businesswomen Jenna Bradley is now the owner of Snipetts from 1st October 2023. Jenna started her time at Snipetts in 2005 as a trainee apprentice and went onto become a qualified senior stylist and then also took on the roll of manager. Jenna is excited for this next era of Snipetts as owner and embracing making her own mark on the business. Jenna has a loyal and longstanding client list whose company and customs she really values. Jenna said when she was offered the ownership it just felt like the next natural step in her career. Jenna said ‘I am looking forward to this next chapter, I have a loyal and dedicated team of stylist and apprentices who I value highly. We all take great pride in our work. The future is bright, and I can’t wait to carry on the great Snipetts name’.
