A sister branch, Hair Ministry @ The Club Salon is also located with David Lloyd Ipswich.

Ellie Emsden, manager of the Kesgrave branch, said: "To be recognised for these is brilliant as these are things we are very passionate about as a company.

"It was a lovely thing to happen."

To be nominated for the awards, salons must put their names forward, and this year was the first time Hair Ministry had done so. 

"We didn't put our names forward expecting to win, and I think next year we will definitely put our names forward for even more.

"Everyone was so happy, we were putting in messages in our group chat and everyone was so chuffed.

"It is an amazing feeling."
