Hazelwood Beauty Salon, based in the
beautiful county of Wiltshire, has won a prestigious national award for Best
Small Salon 2017.
Founder and creative
director Sam Francome recently accepted the BABTAC (British Association of
Beauty Therapy and Cosmetology) Award for 2017’s best salon in the small salon
category.
She said: ‘It’s a huge
compliment to receive this award. BABTAC is firmly focused on upholding
standards within the beauty industry. It’s a genuine honour for my team and I
to receive such a prestigious award and to be recognised as being leaders in
our sector.’
BABTAC is a not-for-profit
professional organisation for those working in beauty, hair, holistic and
sports therapy industries. Its aim is to raise industry standards and it has a
rigorous ethical code and demands high professional practice from its members.
The story of Sam’s business
has been amazing. She first welcomed clients for their treatments in a room in
her home over 15 years ago. Today she has moved into a bespoke and
purpose-built salon with four treatment rooms and a nail lounge at The Stable
in Sutton Benger.
Sam, who is also a trained
mentor and lifestyle coach, says she’s received nothing but praise from her
regular customers about the new premises.
“I have listened to our
clients over the years. From the moment someone arrives, as a team we aspire to
go beyond their expectations. We’re extremely conscious of their busy
lifestyles and have created a happy and peaceful environment where the focus is
on them. In offering the beauty, holistic and cosmetic services they require,
we’re now booking our loyal clients and teenagers far ahead, and are currently
recruiting new therapists to join our already happy team at Hazelwood.’
Sam and her team includes
four fully qualified therapists and two front of house staff. They offer
professional brands including the Decleor skincare range, Jessica manicure and
pedicures and CACI non-surgical facelift facials.
They have an experienced
aesthetic practitioner Dr Jennifer Boone who has been attracting clients to
Hazelwood. Dr Boone offers treatments including dermal fillers and Botox
treatments for both men and women.
