Nailed on - how a salon is supporting Hebburn Town ahead of Wembley date with fingers crossed for a Hornets victory

Halo Hebburn, in Station Rd, is offering the nail design of a ‘Hebburn Hornet’ as it encourages residents to get behind the team for the big final against Consett AFC in the FA Vase final on Monday May 3.

The salon wanted to offer the design to give residents a way to show their support for Hebburn Town, despite not being able to attend the game due to coronavirus restrictions.

The salon has joined with other local businesses around South Tyneside in showing their black and yellow support for the Hornets ahead of the big game.

Owner of Halo Hebburn, Lesley Little said: “Our amazing nail technician Beth Mole created the nails and came up with the great idea.

“It would be amazing if the team got the win at Wembley and would be just the boost the town needs after lockdown. It would really boost the moral and be such an achievement for Hebburn.“

Halo Hebburn is a local salon which offers hair, nails, make-up brows, Lashes and beauty services.

South Tyneside is getting behind Hebburn Town ahead of the Wembley date by painting the town black and yellow to show their support for the club.

Ahead of the match, Hebburn Town Manager, Kevin Bolam said: “It’s great to see businesses getting behind the football club and the area, we wish there were some fans going with us but hopefully there'll be some parties in South Tyneside on the day of the final.
