Rising costs and the current economic climate have been blamed after a Lichfield hair salon confirmed it would be closing.

The boss of Marques Hair on Bird Street said [in a Facebook post](https://www.facebook.com/marqueslichfield/) that the salon would be closing down in the near future.

They said that all avenues had been exhausted in a bid to keep the business going.

> “Unfortunately, I am going to be closing Marques Hair. Due to rising costs and the current economic climate, it is no longer viable to keep the salon open.”  
>  
> It isn’t a decision that I have taken lightly. I have been exploring different options and ways to save the business for a while, but it has become apparent that I have no other option than to close.   
>  
> “I’ve put everything I’ve got – physically, emotionally and financially – over the last two and a half years into the salon. Unfortunately this hasn’t been enough to overcome the after-effects of Covid and currently the cost of living, rising bills.”
