Christine said: “It is a big deal. We are a relatively new salon having only been open a little over a year at the time of the first Covid lockdown. We are a small village salon with two staff up against a lot of larger, established salons.”
They were just beginning to make a name for themselves when lockdown first hit, but came out of it stronger, also becoming a training salon, said Christine. “We focussed the salon and decided what we wanted to achieve and do better.”
The two women were judged on website profile, customer reviews, received a mystery caller and shopper. They provided a portfolio of services, with photos and video.
