A HASLEMERE hair and makeup salon has been nominated for several 2022 Hair and Beauty Awards.

SS Makeup Studio in Wey Hill, which is owned by Shannon Shea, has been nominated for: Best Salon of the Year, Best Bridal Salon, Best Lash Extensions Salon, Hair and Beauty Awards Entrepreneur of the Year, Makeup Artist of the Year and Best Colour Salon.

Last year SS Makeup won Best Social Media at the Hair and Beauty Awards, as well as placing in the top three for Makeup Artist of the Year, Best Salon for Blonde and Best Salon Team.

Shannon said: “We’ve had a great start to 2022 despite the pandemic still going on.

“As a small business to get through the past two years has been a challenge to say the least, but we are out the other side and have some amazing achievements.

“Watching the hair and beauty awards on Zoom last year was so nice, especially when we won the Best Social Media award and placed in the top three for others.

“I’ve got a great team here, but you still don’t expect it. Hopefully this year we will be able to go to the awards.

“During the past few months our own makeup brand Brush Candy has featured in British Vogue online and in print. This was such a surreal experience for us as Vogue approached us.

“I started Brush Candy in lockdown and it grew on TikTok. It is stocked on Wolf and Badger – a global online market place for independent brands. Brush Candy has gone global and gets orders from all over the world.”
