A HAIR salon that has been open less than 18 months has been shortlisted for a regional award for the second year running.

Beau Hair, in South End, Bedale, owned by Danielle Redman, was last year regional winner for the team or service of the year at the annual English Hair & Beauty Awards.

The four-strong team of Ms Redman, her sister Nichole, Emily King and Fran Dinsdale, have once again been nominated for the same award, making the finals.

They will be travelling to the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel on Sunday, March 26 to find out if they are amongst the other category winners, and will be up against larger salons from Leeds, York and Harrogate.

Ms Redman, who has been hairdressing for 11 years, said: “ I am very excited and honoured that our clients think we are worthy of this award again."
