RIP Steve Kyprianou

Steve Kyprianou, the longtime owner of the Wanstead Hairdressers in Woodbine Place, has died aged 83.  He took over the shop in 1969 and continued working there until 10 years ago. He died two weeks ago following an illness, and will be buried on Wednesday.

The shop is still in his family after 50 years and is now run by his nephew Paul Michaelides.
