Carla said: “It means a lot to me, I’ve won quite a few awards but sustainability for me is really important. I try and run the salon as naturally as I can.
“It was amazing. I was overwhelmed, it had been such a busy month and I just managed to get myself on the train to London!”
The awards are the only hairdressing awards in the country where professionals can compete at a local level, running since 2017.
At the awards, Salon Awards founder Kate Jeffery said: “This year has been overwhelmed by exceptional quality entries, some winning and losing by the finest of margins.
“The Salon Awards is truly celebratory and a step-change towards goals for the next year to come. I am looking forward to seeing the boost it gives the winners and the finalists.”

Hair by Carla is a certified vegan salon, and Carla is also part of Salon Sustainability. All of the hairdressing waste is recycled and uses products that are organic, vegan friendly, cruelty free and gluten free.
Carla said: “I would love to be able to inspire other people and other salons because I think if all of us work together, we can make such a big difference. In my view, it’s the biggest industry, they don’t really care as much – it’s only smaller individuals trying to make a difference.
“I am so happy to share what I know to help other salons to bring a new generation to a better way of hairdressing.”
Hair by Carla is located at The Granary, at SP4 6EW. For more information, visit the website.
Carla added: “Thank you for the love and support, I’m truly grateful and without my loving and very much loved clients my gorgeous salon wouldn’t be the success that it is.”
