East Village Win Creative Head’s Best Salon Award!
The Creative Head ‘Most Wanted’ Awards are the biggest and most respected hairdressing awards in the UK, so we couldn’t be happier to win ‘Best Salon Team’ for our East Village salon.
Judged by a panel of industry experts and presented at The National History Museum, East Village was the clear winner for their natural sense of teamwork, dedication to providing an amazing service and having a lot of fun along the way.
“It felt incredible to win,” says salon manager Ilse. “It’s just proof of the great vibes within our team. We all really care about the salon, the clients and each other. ‘Hospitality’ is a word tha I use in all my team meetings: I want everybody to feel welcome, clients to feel special and to make it a real treat to spend time at Blue Tit East Village.”
