The pair who have previously worked together decided they were ready to take the next step in owning their own salon.
Ms Morgan said: “Our hair brand is called Milkshake which is produced in Italy. It is natural and organic and, most importantly, not tested on animals.
“Blaenavon is widely known for the heritage, so it made sense to include that in our name, Eredita, meaning heritage in Italian.
“We both love our jobs and decided we were ready to take the leap together.
“All the local businesses have been really welcoming, we’ve received a positive reaction.
“We managed to turn the empty building into our own studio in just over 5 weeks.
“Using local suppliers and with help from family who have been very encouraging throughout the process.”
Ms Morgan has been in the hairdressing industry for five years whilst Ms Bennett who is Beauty Works Extension trained has been offering extension methods for four years and has been a hairdresser for seven years.
Eredita hair have recently brought in a hair smoothing treatment called FABRIQ.
Ms Morgan said: “Being a hairdresser is about making everyone feel good and every day is different.
“Our salon vibe is a place where you can come to relax and enjoy some 'me time.”
