Victoria Rose Hair & Beauty Salon in Mansfield Woodhouse has this week been named as the Best Beauty Salon in Nottinghamshire in the first NG Hair and Beauty Awards.
The NG Hair and Beauty Awards recognises the best industry professionals in Nottinghamshire and winners are chosen by a team of leading industry judges. Entrants were shortlisted down to five finalists in each category. The winners are picked based on their skills and talent, rather than their number of social media followers.
Victoria Rose Hair & Beauty Salon was named as the Best Beauty Salon at an online awards event held on Saturday 1 October. Two team members were listed as finalists within other categories. Carrie Healey was listed within the top five for Best for Builder Gel and Evie Wilson was listed as a finalist for Best New Start-up.
Victoria Rose Hair & Beauty Salon was established in 2012 by Vicky Clark who has worked as a hairdresser in Mansfield since leaving college. The salon on Newgate Lane, Mansfield, opened with three hair stylists and one beautician. After five years the salon moved to larger premises on Dunsil Road and opened in March 2017.
In June 2017, Carrie Healey joined Victoria as co-owner to expand and manage the beauty side of the business. Together they invested over £10,000 to expand the hair salon (7 hair stations) and convert the residential top floor into a modern beauty salon (3 treatment rooms, nail salon, WC and kitchen).
The Victoria Rose team is now made up of two beauticians, a nail technician, a holistic therapist, an aesthetic practitioner, four hair stylists and a hair apprentice.
Carrie Healey said: “We are so grateful and extremely proud to have been recognised as the best beauty salon in Nottinghamshire. Our clients love the fact that we’re a ‘one stop shop’ for all their hair, beauty and aesthetic needs. We have an exceptionally talented team who have a real passion for their work, which ensures our clients keep coming back. We also have the most amazing clients, who, due to their ongoing support, we have a successful business and gives us the opportunity to do what we love.”
