LUXE Hair.Beauty.Bridal, based in Hinckley’s Regent Court, won UK Bridal Salon of the Year at the Hair and Beauty Awards. The salon’s nail technician, known as Nailed It By Catrina, was also named as a finalist in the Nail Technician of the Year category.

To celebrate, the popular salon, which opened last September, hosted an open day and handed out free brow wax vouchers to new and current customers.

Run by Laura Timms and Leanne Brown, who have over 25 years of experience between them, the salon launched as a space where bridal trials could take place and enjoy a glass of Prosecco with their bridal party.

Alongside bridal hair and make-up, they also offer hair services, hair extensions, lashes, tanning, nails and teeth whitening.

Laura said: “We are so excited to have won the award.

“Myself and Leanne have each run our separate bridal hair and make-up businesses for over 16 years. We noticed a sudden increase in our work loads after winning separate awards, so came together to launch LUXE Hair.Beauty.Bridal in Hinckley.

“Our team all work together to give our brides the complete package in wonderful surroundings. I think this is what made us stand out.”

Steve Wegerif, from Hinckley BID, said: “We are thrilled for Laura and Leanne and all the other staff at LUXE.

“They only launched last year, so it is fantastic that they are winning such prestigious awards already. We can’t wait to see what this year has in store for them!"

The salon will soon team up with nearby Buttercream Tearoom to offer their bridal parties afternoon teas to enjoy alongside their hair and beauty trials.

LUXE also recently became a recommended supplier on the Midlands Online Wedding Fayre Directory.
