Our story
Opened in April 2025, because Darlington didn’t have one.
Chioma Nwagbara moved to Darlington for work in 2022 and found herself ordering hair and products online, paying for delivery every time. There was no Afro Caribbean hair salon in town either.
So in April 2025 she opened Fab Hair & Beauty on Crown Street: a hair shop and a salon under one roof. It started out open two days a week. Now it is open six.
Word has travelled. Clients now come in from Sunderland, Newcastle and Newton Aycliffe.
“There was not an Afro-Caribbean hair salon either; I think we are the first ones.”
