New Briggate in Leeds hasn't always been associated with a cultural part of town. With so many take-aways, taxi stands and night clubs it used to be more a place of ever busy nightlife.
In the recent years though according to the City Council's plan to give it a more refined feel, the image of New Briggate is changing. The Grand Theatre has been renovated, the takeaways have moved across the road, a new Gallery 42 has opened and the restored units of the Grand Theatre building are now available to rent.
The presence of Remedy Hairdressing has also influenced the feel of the street. Apart from the fact that over the last two and half years it has established itself as a successful, independent hairdressing salon offering a high standard of service, Remedy is also involved in Leeds' Art Scene by displaying local artists' work in the salon.
There has been several successful exhibitions before and currently a selection of work by a Leeds individual is decorating the salon's walls. Tony has been a friend and a customer of remedy from the very beginning. His work is very distinguished and features mainly drawings. The humour of the sketches is known to all customers of Remedy and those who haven't heard of Tony are invited to see his work at the salon.
