A NARBERTH hair and beauty salon has been awarded a 5* rating by the Good Salon Guide.

Ava Marie Stylish Hair & Beauty owner Sarah Williams said she was delighted with the rating.

“The Good Salon Guide is the long awaited measure that enables clients to know their hairdresser is a true professional,” she said. “We are delighted to have achieved independent recognition of this salon’s standards.”

The Good Salon Guide chairman Dawson Penn said: “I am delighted that Ava Marie Stylish Hair & Beauty has succeeded in reaching the standards required to become a member of the Good Salon Guide.

“The Good Salon Guide highlights the professional status of hairdressers and will ensure that clients can have confidence in their choice of hairdresser.”

The guide is hairdressing’s answer to the well known hotel and pub guides. Recognised salons are visited and objectively assessed by professional inspectors, giving customers confidence in their choice. Salons are regularly reassessed to ensure standards are maintained.
