A SOMERSET salon has been shortlisted in two prestigious awards ceremonies.

Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing, in Taunton, has made the finals of both the national Salon Business Awards and the HAIR Awards.

The Salon Business Awards recognise outstanding individuals, businesses, and initiatives making waves in the industry, with the support of sponsors HairCon, Jena, Remi Cachet and Keratin Complex.

Sponsored by Revlon Professional, the HAIR Awards honour the hair heroes of the High Street and salons up and down the country and are the insider’s guide to the top people in the hair world.

The salon, which started more than 40 years ago, has made the shortlist in the Customer Service Salon category for the Salon Business Awards, and the Regional Salon South category for the HAIR Awards.

Cameron Willetts, from Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing, said: “We’re proud that our Tribe and our inside-out brand of customer focused hairdressing is being recognised in these awards. With the Salon Business Awards, it’s great to be acknowledged by industry peers, and the HAIR Awards are important for us too. It’s a consumer magazine whose readers are clients just like ours, so very special.”

The winners of the awards will be announced on the same day, March 24, with the HAIR Awards at Sweeties, The Standard on Argyle Street in the afternoon, followed by the Salon Business Awards at 12th Knot, Sea Containers in the evening.
