Rita’s Fabulous 30 Years at Royston Blythe!
Rita Celebrates 30 Fabulous Years at Royston Blythe Hair Salons Wolverhampton & Shrewsbury

When the world of hairdressing is consistently changing, it is a breath of fresh air to visit a salon and see the same familiar friendly faces. These faces get to know you, and your families, and often close relationships are built. The longstanding team at Royston Blythe hair salons in Wolverhampton & Shrewsbury have shared the highs and lows of their clients’ lives and become not just their hairdresser but also their friend.
Royston Blythe started with a team of three 32 years ago. Over the years they have grown a team of loyal and dedicated colleagues that have been instrumental in the success of the business. One very special team member is Rita Mason. 2022 sees Rita celebrating 30 fabulous! The Jackie Onassis and very much loved mother of the team is infamous for her chic style and charm.
Rita was Royston Blythe’s first Receptionist in 1992 and ran this incredibly busy salon single handed. She knows everyone in Wolverhampton! With her flair and elegance, clients regularly seek her fashion advice and tips. She is the fountain of all knowledge (including home interiors), life issues and manages to find positivity in every situation.
80 years young this year (would you believe it?!), Rita continues to be the essence of the salon and is still at the helm on the busiest days to welcome everyone and keep an eye on the smooth running of the salon. To celebrate this milestone, Nick, Royston and the team invited Rita, her gorgeous daughters and close friends to Sunday lunch and party afterwards. Nick’s heartfelt words ensured there was not a dry eye in the house! And Rita, true to form was the first one up on the dancefloor as soon as the singer started – and the last one to leave it!
We asked Rita, “What is your favourite memory from the last 30 years?”
“I thank my best friend Jackie for introducing me to Nick & Royston, she said “you will love working with these boys”, and she was right! I have never looked back. We have shared both the sad times and the good, but the lad’s generosity and kindness has always been at the heart of everything. It has never felt like work. With lovely clients to chat with I laugh every day and I hope the fun never ends”.
Nick and Royston say: “Rita is incredibly special to us. She has defended and supported us throughout the years and is a true and loyal friend. We share so many memories, funny ones, naughty ones and the characters we still miss over the years. We just want her to carry on forever! Our only regret was our lovely friend Jackie Taylor couldn`t be with us today (you were missed) to celebrate our Rita but we send her all our love”.
Royston Blythe is often described as a family. It is a unique salon. Ladies, whatever your age, whoever you are, you will always be made to feel welcome and leave feeling fabulous.
