Franki Phillips – the owner of Franki’s Hair Salon on Clarence Road in East Cowes – sadly passed away on New Year’s Day, it has been announced.
Her salon has been closed since just before the New Year.
In a tear-jerking post on Facebook, Franki’s Hair Salon has said:

“We want to thank all of her clients for their care and loyalty over the years, and for making her job feel like home.
“She will be unbelievably missed.
“Her Funeral details will be shared in the coming weeks, and you will all be more than welcome to pay your respects to our gorgeous, crazy lady.”
This is so saddening, Franki was a lovely caring and talented lady. My thoughts go out to all of her family, friends and work colleagues. Another angel who has gained her wings xxx
