A WREXHAM beauty salon has scooped two awards at the industry's equivalent of the Oscars.

Therapists at Beauty with Sara won accolades for their outstanding customer care and facial treatments, together with four other nominations at this year's British Beauty Awards.

The staff attended the glittering awards ceremony in London hosted by Eamonn Holmes last month.

Over the last six years Beauty with Sara has received 10 Beauty Oscars - more than any other salon in Britain - including British Salon of the Year in 2000.

The salon has won Regional Salon of the Year three times and now takes pride of place in the British Beauty Awards Hall of Fame.

Beauty with Sara opened in 1991 with owner Sara Shoemark offering each and every treatment.

Now she has 20 therapists working in two salons, on Charles Street, Wrexham, and Lower Bridge Street, Chester.

Last year, Sara opened a relaxation suite in the Wrexham salon, offering luxurious changing facilities and a relaxation room enabling them to pamper individuals and groups of clients to perfection.

She said: 'Our sole aim is to offer simply the best in beauty that we possibly can.

'We were thrilled to win an award for our customer care for the third time, and will next year be presented with a lifetime achievement award for our customer care.

'Jennifer Griffiths was so very, very proud to hear her name announced as British Facial Therapist of the Year, an award she excitedly accepted in front of hundreds of people.

'After celebrating with champagne we danced until the early hours and the next day we returned home to care for our clients.'

And what is the secret of beauty with Sara's success?

Sara said: 'Constant investment in our salon, dedication and passion in each and every area of our work is vital to offer the best we possibly can.'

She added: 'It is a wonderful achievement to be recognised by receiving such prestigious awards within the industry.'
