- Rush Hair to Install WiFi Across all its Salons With The Cloud

RUSH Hair, one of the most successful hair and beauty groups in the UK, is to

become the first UK salon chain to offer free WiFi to customers after signing a

deal with WiFi provider The Cloud to cover all of its 66 salons across

London

and the South. This summer, RUSH Hair customers will not only enjoy the

highest standard of pampering, but they will also be able to connect to one of

the UK's leading wireless networking services on their smartphones and tablet

computers to pass the time during appointments.

RUSH Hair customers will have the option to turn down the standard fashion

magazine and connect to the internet to keep up with the latest gossip on their

social networks or watch videos on YouTube or Sky Go while they are preened

to perfection by RUSH's award-winning staff.

International Creative Director Stelios Andrew at RUSH Hair, said: "Our belief

has always been in providing the highest standards in hairdressing and beauty

with exceptional customer service, which has played a major role in us winning

12 British Hairdressing Awards. When a customer sets foot in one of our salons

they have a wide array of styles and treatments from expert stylists and

beauticians to choose from, and now they can also choose to connect to our

WiFi and surf the web while we look after them. We feel this really adds to the

superb experience we offer our customers and we're looking forward to seeing

our customers connecting to and benefiting from the service."

Vince Russell, Managing Director of The Cloud, said: "We're delighted to bring

our expertise for fast reliable WiFi to enhance RUSH's award winning customer

service. What better environment for WiFi than a salon? It is the perfect place

for people to sit and escape from their busy lives for an hour or two. With

nearly a quarter of the population now accessing public WiFi services every

week people expect reliable WiFi access wherever they go. Enabling RUSH's

customers to catch up with friends on Facebook or Twitter, watch their

favourite video clips or even find a new look online will only make the

experience more enjoyable."

The deal with RUSH Hair and The Cloud, a BSkyB company, adds to The Cloud's

large network of more than 10,000 hotspots around the UK. An estimated 4m

people every day pass through The Cloud network by visiting one of its

partners, including major outlets like Mamas & Papas, Ted Baker, PizzaExpress,

Caffè Nero, Eat, Pret A Manger, Greggs and Wagamama, as well as First Great

Western and Network Rail stations.
