A Whitchurch beauty salon has won a national award.

Lily's Beauty Salon, in Whitchurch town centre, was named Small Salon of the Year at the BABTAC & CIBTAC Awards 2024.

The awards, run by the British Association of Beauty Therapists and Cosmetology, and the Confederation of International Beauty Therapists and Cosmetology, were held at the Fairmont Windsor Park on November 10.

Gemma Holt of the salon said: "Winning the Small Business Salon award means everything to me and my team. 

"It is testament to the dedication and professionalism that we provide every day to every single one of our clients. 

"We want them to leave our salon having enjoyed the highest standard of treatment coupled with a truly wonderful, personal experience. 

"Winning this award for the third consecutive year shows that we achieve and maintain this benchmark year on year and it is such an honour to be recognised by BABTAC and CIBTAC."

Jodie Richards, a therapist at Lily’s Beauty Salon, was a finalist in the Holistic Therapist of the Year category of the awards; and the salon was also a contender for Sustainable Salon of the Year award. 

Ms Holt said: "I am incredibly proud of Jodie. 

"It is a huge accomplishment simply getting past the nomination stage, so to be a finalist in a very tough category is an amazing achievement."
