Nottingham success at the 2024 KH Hair Award
The much-anticipated event took place on 9 June on the outdoor terrace at Binks Yard in the City, where KH Hair’s 200+ staff and VIP guests from Wella and Ghd came together to celebrate the achievements of the Group’s 20 East Midlands salons.
The evening began with Group managing director, Darren Messias, acknowledging 13 individuals for their long service to the company,before 22 awards were handed out to this year’s top salon teams and individuals.
Always the most coveted accolade of the night, ‘Salon of the Year,’was awarded jointly to Nottinghamshire’s Castle Gate and Arnold salons for their excellent performances in customer service, turnover and retail sales. It wasn’t the only walk to the stage for the Castle Gate team who collected an impressive haul of six trophies including Salon Highest Turnover. There was also recognition for 2nd year apprentice, Sophie Taylor, who came out on top in her training competition. And Steve McEntee for the highest turnover in retail.
Co-director, Debbie McMenamin, who runs the salon with husband Sean, says that scooping six awards plus achieving a further eight 2nd and 3rd placings was just incredible. “The ‘Salon of the Year Award is testament to our team’s collective effort, dedication and support of each other,” she says. “They are brilliant every day and we are so appreciative of every single one of them. They truly deserve this recognition and, of course, we are truly grateful to every client who has stepped through our door over the years. Thank you for choosing us and trusting us with your hair.”
