A business in Barrow has thanked its clients after receiving a recent award nomination.

Last month, The Mail launched the 'Best Beauty Salon 2024' award to promote the people who are bringing a dash of glamour to the region.

Our readers were invited to nominate the businesses they felt were deserving of the accolade, with 10 finalists selected from those results.

Voting has been taking place since the start of last week and will be open until Saturday, October 12.

You can make sure your voice is heard by picking up a copy of The Mail before the deadline.

To coincide with the hotly contested competition, we have been running a series of special features to shine the spotlight on each of the finalists.

Sarah Ramsay, who has been a stylist for 27 years, said: "This is lovely to hear as a salon, we are so thankful to all our clients for their votes. 

"We reopened next door to Ken Riley’s after lockdown as it was just empty - with turning it into a unisex salon and naming it Sarèan Hair and Beauty, we added a beauty room upstairs and welcomed beautician Sandra Houldsworth to the team.


The Mail's 'Best Beauty Salon 2024' award series pt.2:


"She brings all aspects of beauty to the salon and has a really good following due to her experience and passion to the trade.

"Beauty has been a fantastic addition to the salon for both men and women, from waxing and piercing and many more treatments."

Sarah and husband Dean took over Ken Riley's in 2023, with Sarèan as its sister shop next door, and also picked up an award nomination for The Mail's 'Best Hairdresser' contest earlier this year.

Will it be second time lucky for Sarah in the 'Best Beauty Salon' category? You can make your vote count by casting it before October 12.
