Petworth salon shortlisted as one of the best in the hairdressing business at national awards.Tristan Eves in Petworth has been named as a finalist in the Salon Design Award category at the British Hairdressing Business Awards, hosted by Hairdressers Journal International.The awards, which are now in their 19th year, seek to find and celebrate the very best salon businesses in the country – an industry which contributes an estimated £7bn to the British economy and one which employs more than 300,000 people.With 17 categories celebrating all aspects of the business side of hair, the awards are a proven platform for raising a salon’s profile. Even finalising in one of the prestigious categories marks a business out as one of the finest providers in the country; a win catapults them to the very top, providing unrivalled recognition that they are at the pinnacle of their profession and raising their profile to give an edge over competitors.The Salon Design Award category celebrates new or recently redesigned salons that exceed expectations in every aspect of appearance. But beyond that, the salon is designed for purpose; to make clients feel fantastic, to allow stylists to thrive and do their job to its best ability and to bring to life the company aesthetic in bricks and mortar.Says HJ’s Executive Director, Jayne Lewis-Orr: “Promoting professionalism, innovation and excellence, the British Hairdressing Business Awards recognise those individuals and teams who work tirelessly to raise the profile and stature of this industry, and make it one of which we can all be proud.She adds: “Salon design is a fun category, but it’s also one that we take very seriously – whatever your salon vision or style, being able to bring it to life in a way that makes great business sense can be a challenge. This award celebrates those who have done it perfectly.”Salon owner Tristan Eves comments: “Designing our salon was challenging, but also extremely rewarding. We’re thrilled with the end result, as are our team and clients, but a place on this shortlist is the icing on the cake.”The awards take place in London on Monday 11 September.
