A SALON is celebrating after making it to the finals of the Professional Beauty Regional Awards.

Little Luxury, in Great Sankey, has been named as a finalist in the North West’s Boutique Salon of the Year category.

Having wowed the judges, the salon has been named as one of the best within the north west.

Owner Kayleigh Marley, was trained at Warrington Collegiate before opening the venue four-and-a-half years ago.

The 25-year-old said: "We have had to have a visit from a judge who came and had treatments and spoke to the team.

"I love my job and our clients, we are assessed collectively as a salon and I'm really proud of all the girls."

The salon, on Old Liverpool Road, offers a wide range of treatments including their popular afternoon tea spa day.

The Professional Beauty Regional Awards is the most prestigious and established awards scheme for the beauty, spa, nails and aesthetics markets, recognising those who make a real difference to the industry and encouraging their development.

Mark Moloney managing director of Professional Beauty, said: "By holding the regional awards, we are able to seek out the sometimes-lesser known salons and spas that are exceptional at that they do.

"For the thousands of men and women who visit a salon and spa each year, it is because of these therapists that they experience the wonderful treatments which make them feel a million dollars, and as such, these businesses should be recognised for their expertise.”

Little Luxury will know if they have won award at a gala dinner on October 21 at the Principal Hotel in Manchester.
