TWO East Lothian businesses will go head-to-head at a national awards ceremony later this month.

Winners will be crowned at the fourth Nation’s Hair and Beauty Awards in Manchester.

The awards aim to celebrate excellence in the industry.

Among those keen to be celebrating success on August 25 will be Sharon’s Hair and Beauty Boutique, on Haddington’s Market Street, and Nu Yu, in Wallyford’s Fa’side Buildings, who have both been named as finalists in the Hair and Beauty Salon of the Year (Scotland) category.

Nu Yu is also in the running for the Nail Salon of the Year (Scotland) prize.

A spokesperson for the ceremony wished each of the finalists the best of luck.

They said: “The awards will shine the spotlight on the talented professionals that have shown great passion, commitment and innovation for the beauty industry, who often don’t get the recognition they deserve.”
