Beauty and skin clinic The Fabulous You, based at Willington Hall in Tarporley, has reached the finals of the national Professional Beauty Awards 2014.

Following the first round judging by an independent panel of experts, The Fabulous You clinic has been selected in the Beauty Salon with three rooms or fewer category.

The Professional Beauty Awards, run by Professional Beauty magazine, is the most prestigious awards scheme for the beauty and spa industry, which recognises establishments that make a real difference to their industry and encourages their development.

Around 250 companies from across the UK entered the awards this year. The overall award winners in each category will be announced at a black tie dinner at The Brewery in London on February 22.

In entering the awards, The Fabulous You clinic had to show evidence of a well-designed salon that excels at customer focus, is committed to staff careers, uses brand association superbly and has devised a fantastic treatment menu that meets the needs of its customers.

Leisa Roberts of The Fabulous You Skin and Beauty Clinic said: “We are delighted to have been selected as a finalist as it is a real stamp of approval on our achievements at the clinic and rewards our staff for the fantastic service they provide to our customers.

“The judges look for all-round skills in treatment delivery, marketing, staff management, business and leadership, so we feel it a real achievement to have proved ourselves worthy of the finals and we are looking forward to the awards ceremony in February.”

The Fabulous You Skin and Beauty Clinic was launched in 2010 by skincare specialists Leisa Roberts and Emma Batkin and an estimated 2,5000 customers from across Cheshire have visited the clinic since it opened.

The clinic was approved by the Good Salon Guide in 2014, which is the only independent guide to quality standards in beauty clinics in the UK.
