A leading Aberdeen hair and beauty salon has won a prestigious business accolade at a national business awards ceremony.
Linton & Mac, based in Netherkirkgate and celebrating their first birthday this weekend (September 3 2016), was awarded the accolade of Best Business in Scotland, at the inaugural awards grand final, held in The Sheraton Grand Hotel and Spa in Edinburgh on Sunday August 28, 2016.
The awards ceremony saw winners from the regional awards in Aberdeen, Angus, Fife, Perthshire, Edinburgh and Glasgow, compete against one another to be hailed champions in the national awards.
Since launching in September 2015, the salon team has doubled in size, creating over 25 new jobs in Aberdeen, and now also boasts over 3,000 clients on its books.
The salon, which has recently won a number of industry and business awards had previously won the Best Aberdeen Business in the Aberdeen Business Awards, and was hailed best business in Scotland last night at the national awards, the most prestigious award of the evening.
Linton & Mac’s five other accolades to date include; the One To Watch award at The Look Awards, a double award win at Trend’s Life of Style Awards for Best New Business and Excellence in Hairdressing, the Most Promising New Business in the prestigious Elevator UK awards, and the salon owners also recently became regional winners of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy.
Jennifer Linton, creative director of Linton & Mac, said: “We are absolutely delighted to have won the award and can’t quite believe it. It has been an incredible first year for us and we’ve learned a great deal about our business, and ourselves over the past 12 months.
“Winning this award is a huge compliment to the salon and the services we offer. Our continued success and continual customer feedback are a testament to all of our staff and the hard work they put in in producing the highest quality of service for our customers. We have an incredible support system and our clients are a huge part of that. Without them we wouldn’t be where we are today.”
Head of presentation at Scotland’s Business Awards, Scott Somerville, commented: “From our initial meeting, Linton & Mac was clearly a new business whose location, just off Union Street, had been well thought out. A very modern, stylish salon, whose owners have a very clear idea of where this new brand is heading. We were delighted that Linton & Mac won in the Aberdeen Business Awards.
At the ceremony, they picked up the Best Business in Scotland Award, a huge achievement for such a new business beating off another seven finalists from across Scotland.”
The awards ceremony saw over 400 attendees, with numerous national winners announced on the evening. Hailed the number one Awards website in Scotland, the awards recognise the best in business.
