Olympic Dreams Do Come True




WESTROW WELCOMES PARALYMPIAN CLAIRE CASHMORE TO ITS LEEDS SALON FOR SOME MEDAL BEHAVIOUR
  Westrow hairdressing, which has seven salons across Yorkshire, welcomed Paralympics champion, Claire Cashmore, to its Leeds city centre salon on Thursday 13 September 2012, for some post-event pampering from stylist Matthew Kitching.

Super swimmer and triple medallist at the 2012 London games, Claire visited Westrow 4-6 Thornton’s Arcade straight from the homecoming celebration held in Millenium Square in Leeds, where more than 300 well-wishers lined the streets to welcome her and fellow Yorkshire Paralympians – Hannah Cockroft, Ali Jawad and David Stone – home.

Claire, who competed in six different events in her third Paralympic games, was a triple medal winner at London 2012, scooping two silver medals in the women’s SB8 100m breaststroke and 4x100m medley relay team and a bronze in the women’s 4 x 100m freestyle relay, bringing her medley of medals into the salon for all to see.


Westrow Director, Marc Westerman (pictured with Claire above), said: “It was great to welcome Claire to Westrow yesterday after her triumph at London 2012. We had been cheering her on throughout the games, so invited her to enjoy some post-Paralympics pampering at our city centre salon along with a goody bag of products from Kerastase. It was an honour to meet her and everyone at Westrow looks forward to charting her progress in Rio in 2016.”
