MALMESBURY’S award-winning beauty salon Perfection Health and Beauty has once again risen to the top after being been selected as one of the top five salons in the UK.

Hundreds of salons across the country entered the prestigious Professional Beauty Awards 2016, with only a select few chosen as finalists for Salon of the Year.

The salon, which is based on Cowage Farm Park, Foxley, previously won the prestigious award at last year’s ceremony.

Salon owner Michelle Stead, said: “I am truly honoured that our hard work, passion and dedication has been recognised nationally.

“We always endeavour to deliver high quality treatment standards and exceptional customer service.

“I am incredibly proud of my team who consistently strive to keep Perfection top of its game, and it is a reflection of their hard work and commitment that we have yet again made it through to the biggest awards in our industry.”

The 31-year-old opened Perfection in March 2011 with husband Simon, after they transformed a former cowshed into the successful salon which has featured in Vogue, Tatler and Cotswold Life magazines.

A team of seven currently work at the salon, with an expansion planned for upstairs which will include a manicure and pedicure lounge and treatment rooms.
