Travel information
By car (from M62) follow signs for the town centre, all the way down Edge Lane. Stay left, passing Edge Lane retail park to your left, and after two sets of traffic lights at crossroads you will come to a third set where the left hand lane bends left and then right, and merges with Wavertree Road. As the roads merge, move into the left hand lane and go left at the lights into Minshull Street. Follow the road round and go straight over at the lights, passing the Roman Catholic Cathedral on your left. At the next lights go straight over and you will drop down towards the City Centre. Just before the T-junction at the end, take a left into Mount Pleasant, and drive up the hill a short distance to the entrance to the NCP cark park on the left.
Once parked, take the Mount Pleasant exit and walk left up the hill turing right into Benson Street. At the end turn left onto Renshaw street and cross over. As you approach the junction with Leece Street and Berry Street you will notice the ruins of St Luke’s, or the ‘bombed out church’ ahead. Turn right onto Berry Street and directly opposite the church on your right is Bold Street. Walk down Bold Street for approximately 600 yards and our salon is on the right hand side.

Trivia
Our salon takes its name from a chain of Burlesque theatres which were owned and run by the Minsky brothers in prohibition-era New York (1912-1937).The name “Minsky’s” is actually derived from a chain of Burlesque theatres After attempting to run respectable shows (but failing miserably), unexpected success came when a performer absent-mindedly removed her stage costume before she had fully exited the stage. The cheers that followed convinced the brothers to make the faux pas a regular part of their show, and from then on the girls were instructed to do this each night, to the delight of the audience. The club’s growing reputation meant it was the object of intense police activity and one particularly notable episode has been immortalised in the film “The Night They Raided Minsky’s” starring Norman Wisdom and Britt Ekland.
