Businesses from across Tayside and Fife are in the running for top hair and beauty industry awards.
A total of 13 salons and stylists have been shortlisted in this year’s Scottish Hair and Beauty Awards.
They have been shortlisted following a public vote that saw more than 47,000 votes cast.
They now have to complete photo shoots and submit those to be judged by a panel ahead of the awards in Glasgow on September 11.
Awards joy after break-in
Among the nominations is Broughty Ferry barbers Lovett’s which is in the running for three awards just six months after a devastating break-in.
Thousands of pounds worth of equipment, plus cash, were taken in the January break-in.
Emily Mckendrick, who co-owns the business alongside Liam Thomson, said: “We are really pleased to be nominated for three awards.
“The break-in was an awful start to the year, so this is at least something for everyone to look forward to.
“We’re feeling confident. Liam won best barber last year, so we’re pretty confident because we know what to expect.”
It could be a special evening for Lovett’s Megan Stockford if she picks up the Best Barber Colourist title.
Emily said: “Megan has previously won twice. if she wins again she’ll go into the Hall of Fame.”
