A VILLAGE hair salon is back in business three months after it was flooded.
Carole Gibbs, who co-owns Feniton Hair Xpress with Jan Wollacott, accidentally left a tap on.

"I was so busy, I didn't realise I'd left the tap on," Carole told the Herald. "I went out to lunch and, when I came back, the salon was flooded."
