“We said at the start of the year we would be more focused on health and wellbeing and it has really made the team stronger.

“I’m incredibly proud of all the team for their hard work and for Estella and Roula getting an award independently for their talent.

“Estelle is a finalist for bridal stylist.

“It’s not just about the hair, it’s about the bride and bridal party feeling relaxed and enjoying the experience.”

The Salon Awards celebrate hairdressing professionals and salons at a local level.

It is the only national competition where entries are judged against others from the same area.

Salon Awards founder Kate Jeffery said: “I am thrilled to see so many quality entries, with many joining our community for the first time.

“Everyone that takes part has taken a step to make a positive change and create an opportunity for themselves or their business, and that should be celebrated.”

Winners will be announced in November.
