A TOWN centre-based salon which has been open only 18 months has already managed to make a name for itself as they’ve been crowned among the best in Yorkshire.

Another Dimension Hair Emporium on Peel Street took home two awards from this year’s prestigious Salon Awards.

Staff believe victories in the Best Salon Team and Best New Salon in Yorkshire categories have helped prove their dedication to the fledgling business.

Owner Kayleigh Smith told the Chronicle: “We had to submit things like clients’ reviews and testimonials from the staff.

“It’s a really thorough, fact-based process that’s judged by a team of celebrity hairdressers.

“We’ve only been open 18 months but it’s been exciting - it’s gone really well.”

The award show in Manchester last Saturday was presented by Sophia Hilton, a world-famous hairdresser with 132,000 followers on Instagram - and Kayleigh admits she was a bit ‘starstruck’.

“It was an amazing night,” she added.

“Honestly, it was very much like the National Television Awards - it felt like this big ceremony,

“The presenter’s very famous in our industry - she’s a bit of an icon so I was definitely a bit starstruck.

“We’ve got lots of younger people in our team so this has meant so much to us.

“We’re incredibly proud of our talented team and the support we’ve received from the local community.”
