Proud salon manager Paula Wood said: “The team are, and always have been like a family.

“It’s a great environment. I am really lucky to have such a great team.

“I had a silly accident in June and I’ve been away from the salon for five months.

“The team have really pulled together and kept the business running for me.”

Estelle loves doing bridal hair.

“She was really made up with being a finalist and when she won she was over the moon.

“Estelle is doing my daughter’s hair for her wedding.”

Roula is from Greece and ‘fell in love’ with Saks after doing a seminar with a creative workshop with Saks whilst living there.

She moved to England and worked at Saks Warrington until it closed, and then joined the Knutsford team last December.

“Roula is very creative and passionate,” said Paula.

“I organised a photoshoot at the beginning of the year for her and this was the picture she won the award for.”

The salon is hosting an opening evening on Wednesday, November 29 for clients to meet the team and have a mocktail or prosecco.

“They can discuss hair concerns,” said Paula.

“There will be discounts on the night.”

The salon has supported the Eve Appeal since it opened in 2017 and has vowed to continue raising funds.

This is the leading UK national charity funding research and raising awareness into the five gynaecological cancers – womb, ovarian, cervical, vulval and vaginal.
