Salon Business Awards Founder Joanne Charlton said: “Aesthetics goes the extra mile in every area of business from marketing to the consistently high service they offer each and every client. Their entry was outstanding, which is why they were crowned our Ultimate Sm to Med Salon – a category that cannot be entered into but which every finalist of the entire competition is considered for.”
