In the early hours of Sunday morning, 3rd May 2026, a car was deliberately set on fire behind our building. What started as an act of arson quickly turned into something far worse — the flames spread, tearing through the roof and destroying homes and businesses in its path.

We are incredibly grateful to the High Wycombe and surrounding area fire brigade, whose rapid response ensured that, despite the scale of the fire, no lives were lost. Their bravery and professionalism prevented an even greater tragedy.

Our salon, which we’ve proudly run for 14 years, is now gone. Everything we built — our workspace, equipment, and livelihood — has been lost overnight. To make matters harder, the building itself was not insured, leaving us and others with no safety net.

We are not alone in this.

Our neighbours have also suffered heartbreaking losses

People have been displaced from their homes

Local businesses have been forced to shut their doors

A close-knit community has been shaken in an instant
