A MALDON hair salon is celebrating after scooping a prize at a prestigious awards ceremony for the second year running.

Reed Hair in High Street was named front of house team of the year at the Hairdressers Journal International’s British Hairdressing Awards in London.

The salon, run by Vicki Meredith and Jane Williams, picked up the front of house and customer care awards at last year’s event.

The Front of House Team of the Year category celebrates the unsung heroes of the salon – those who are the first and last contact with the client.

It seeks to recognise exceptional customer care, communication and going above and beyond in the name of service.

Jane said: “We’re so proud to win this award. Our front of house team are at the core of our business as it’s all about communication.

“The team communicates absolutely everything to our clients which really helps to give them the best experience.

“We would of course like to also thank the rest of our team, they're all amazing.”
