Marettia Ralph was airlifted to Sydney's Prince of Wales Hospital after a motorcycle accident on a Wagga property on Boxing Day last year left her paralysed from the waist down.

The 17-year-old second-year apprentice is now back in Wagga and her employer, owner of Baylis Street salon Spoilt, Anna Tindale, has secured new, larger premises across the street.

"We're moving all the way across the road. It's three times the size of our little box and we'll get some work done to make it all accessible (and) we're looking into getting things designed and made," she said.

Miss Ralph said the transition back to the salon has been easier than expected and she is still enjoying the trade.

"It's fun. I've been doing a bit of everything, it's a bit of trial and error," she said.

Ms Tindale will work with a government body that assists getting people with disabilities back into the workforce to look for ways to make the new salon work. She said Miss Ralph has the skills to keep going with what she started.

"I don't wait for the third year to get them out on the floor, she was cutting and colouring (before the accident) so she's already got the knowledge, she just has to use it in a different way," she said.

"She never cut with her feet, so that's a start. (We'll redesign) everything really: client chairs, basins, virtually everything we have. We'll take what we do and rethink everything."

General manager of MEGT, the agency involved in recruiting Miss Ralph to her apprenticeship, Jan Griffin, visited the salon yesterday during her visit to the region.
