A NEWLY opened Tavistock salon has been awarded a five star rating by the Good Salon Guide.

The guide, the only independent guide to quality standards in hairdressing in the UK and Ireland, was delighted to announce that Hair Bliss was awarded with a five star rating.

Recognised salons are visited and objectively assessed by professional inspectors, giving the customer confidence in their choice.

Salons are regularly reassessed to ensure standards are maintained.

Dawson Penn, chairman of the Good Salon Guide, said: 'I am delighted that Hair Bliss has succeeded in reaching the standards required to become a member of the Good Salon Guide.

The guide highlights the professional status of hairdressers and will ensure that clients can have confidence in their choice of hairdresser.'

Micayla Barnett and Tamzin Hodge, owners of Hair Bliss, said: 'The Good Salon Guide is the long awaited measure that enables clients to know their hairdresser is a true professional.

'We are delighted to have achieved independent recognition of this salon's standards.'
