"Because we’re so close the team of the year is an important one for us, we try and keep a hold of that one if we can.

"It was such a lovely evening, in a nice setting, and getting a bunch of hairdressers together...we all like a drink.”

Awards were handed out a ceremony in London where over 700 members of the hair and beauty industry attended.

Duran’s also captured another award, in recent weeks it was the winner of the best dressed Halloween window.

Bucks Radio ran the competition with Mayor of Aylesbury, Councillor Tim Dixon, picking the salon as the overall winner.

Lisa says staff enjoyed being visited by Aylesbury’s mayor.

Of particular intrigue at this year’s contest at the Salon Awards was the Stylist of the Year category.

Duran’s had two nominees in that category with winner, Caroline, going up against her co-worker Kimberly Fallows.

Lisa added: “The two girls who were up for the stylist award, both of them said: ‘as long as it's one of them,’ they’d both be happy.

"And obviously it was one of them which was brilliant, for both of them to be nominated, and for one of them to go onto win it.”

This year has represented a bounceback for the Aylesbury business which like all beauty stores, was unable to operate like normal during a Covid-disrupted 2021.

Speaking to The Bucks Herald in August, Lisa said: “It’s been absolutely amazing. It has been so busy.

"It is just nice to have something positive, because it has been so stressful.”
