Salons in Scotland receive several British Beauty and Spa Awards this year

Last week Scottish salons were given seven out of seventeen of the British Beauty and Spa Awards.  Scotland received the awards for Best Destination Spa, Best Destination Salon, and Best Facial Therapist in the UK. 

   
Jayne Lewis-Orr with the Health & Beauty Salon magazine that sponsored the awards said “The Scottish salons had tremendously high standards and were very clear about meeting all the criteria (to be a top spa). There’s very much a sense that they want to prove their beauty treatments are the best and the Scottish salons have tremendously high standards in what they do.  I think there’s a particular awareness in Scotland of the importance of keeping up with the latest treatments and staff training. Salon owners are very, very good at training and ensuring that’s ongoing and providing it in a creative way.”

Lewis-Orr commented about several of the award winners.  She said that “Rainbow Room International Beauty and Spa in Glasgow has won big awards over several years and now Zen is doing extremely well in getting up the league table, so I think there’s awareness among everyone else that there are high standards to live up to and they are working hard within their own market.  Also at a time like this, when everyone is aware of their spending, people are spending their disposable income wisely and getting value in return.   So all the little extras make a real difference.”
