She launched her barbershop business from a small garage setup in her home in January 2023.

In a letter accompanying her planning application, Ms Cotillard said that the enterprise had "grown exponentially over the course of the year".

"I would like to expand to create new roles and work alongside a small team," she said.

"The idea is to move the business into the nearby barn, convert the barn for purpose and expand the barbershop business to include a larger area for barbers and to introduce therapists."

Ms Cotillard explained: "Currently the barn is derelict and used for storage, previously used as a farming commercial unit.

"By developing the site, I will be significantly improving the premises."

As part of the move to the bigger site, the Mentain Barbering owner is hoping to expand her business to include two more barbers, two male grooming therapists, and a receptionist.

"The business will be scaled up modularly over time," she said.

Outlining the advantages of growing the business, Ms Cotillard explained that the expansion will enable a "one stop shop" for islanders to have a haircut, massage and grooming treatments.

"Currently there is nowhere in Jersey that is specifically set up for the sole purpose of looking after all potential male barbering and grooming needs," she said.

Ms Cotillard also highlighted the benefits of Mentain Barbering's out-of-town location and on-site parking.

The business owner acknowledged the "possible upset to nearby residents concerning the increase of traffic down Rue des Landes" due to the growing clientele.

"This, however, will be controlled by the fact that the whole business will run on an ‘appointment only’ basis," she said.

To further reduce traffic flow, Ms Cotillard also plans to introduce a covered bike rack to encourage clients to cycle to their appointments.
