&a mp;lt;b>A VENTNOR hair salon was broken into in the early hours of this morning (Sunday).
Carol Falkner, the owner of The Hair Shack on Pier Street, received the shocking news from police this morning while she was at V Dub Festival.
An intruder smashed in the wide period door of the property and took a box of new electrical items and cash from the hair dressers' tips.
Carol said: "When I got the call I was upset, but now I am just angry.
"It is the violation more than anything. We have been building this business up for four years.
"Police think it happened at around 4am.
"We had forensics in this morning. The police have been really good."
The front of the building is being temporarily boarded up, but Carol is hoping not to have to cancel any bookings.
