AN Ellesmere Port salon is going from strength to strength by competing with the finest in the UK.

Charlotte Gerrard Beauty, based in Whitby Road, has seen three members of the team who made it to the finals of the UK Hair and Beauty Awards.

Owner Charlotte Gerrard was in the final for Best New Salon, while Sam Sheldrake was in the final for Nail Tech of The Year and Eva Brzozowski in the final for Brow Tech of The Year.

While the trio did not take the top prize in their respective categories, further recognition has come their way.

Charlotte and Sam have now got through to the final in the Beauty Full Box Awards – Charlotte for Best Overall Salon, Sam for Nail Tech of The Year.

Charlotte said: "I am absolutely chuffed to bits! I only started my business in July 2020 and got my own salon in June 2021.

"Eva and Sam rent spaces from me. I just cannot believe everything that’s happened and that we have three finalists for two different beauty awards in the same salon!"

The winners of the Beauty Full Box Awards 2022 will be announced in August.
