Meet Sara
I’m Sara Rigby-Holmes, proud owner of 5 On The Square. I have the pleasure of directing a close family of uniquely talented individuals here in our beautiful salon on Cheltenham’s Imperial Square.
I grew up in Cheltenham and have many treasured memories of the town, from my school days to my grandmother’s daily walks in Imperial Gardens, just yards from the salon steps.
I spent the noughties in London where I enjoyed a dynamic sales, marketing, and finance career in the world of 5-star luxury hotels. Working with The Savoy Group, I regularly stayed at The Savoy on the Strand and Claridge’s in Mayfair, and learnt not only successful business skills, but acquired an appreciation for the luxurious personal touches and exceptional customer experience they offered.
Returning to Cheltenham I used everything I’d learnt to set up a salon which was completely unique and unlike anything the town had ever seen. Just like the boutique hotels of my past, our clients ‘check in’ to the reception, make themselves at home with a cappuccino in the lounge, enjoy meticulous attention to detail and special extras throughout their time at the salon.
20 years have now gone by since the salon opened, and we remain Cheltenham’s Boutique Hair Destination and a thriving contributor to the local area. I am proud to be part of this creative and prosperous community and will always call Cheltenham my home.
