Professional Beauty says "This salon’s ability to pick up not one, but two, Professional Beauty Awards, the first for Salon of the Year (three rooms or fewer) and the second for Employer of the Year (20 staff or fewer) encouraged you to push it seven places up the list this year. And we couldn’t agree more with that decision. Lovingly designed treatment rooms, high standards of hygiene, a wonderful choice of brands and a marketing campaign that is ingenious and well executed has established this small business as a powerful brand in its local market. We loved its signage, colour scheme and creative ideas for getting its name out into the local community."
