It is wonderful to see these industry professionals being acknowledged. Unfortunately, none of them are near me.

I love the salon i go to i dont think they have won awards but all i know is that they are great. Its a totally Aveda Salon and they do everything there. I have never had a problem and the staff are wonderful; and its like spending time with friends, not just people doing a job and then your out the door. They even give hand massages while hair color might be prossessing. Also they have all types of teas and coffees, along with home made good for you cookies. And nothing is too hard for them. I enjoy my time at the Aveda Salon in Woodend Victoria

I live around the corner from Keturah Day Spa and have since found out they use Pevonia cosmetics for facials. I am going to ask the husband for a day spa experience for Xmas.

I haven't been to any of the award winners. I haven't found a favourite salon yet. I'll have fun continuing to look though

Where i live there are alot of hairdressers and eating places. And we have a small spa. And the Aveda Salon where i go and they are great. They may not be as high end as these but when you live in a small town you have to work with what you have

I haven't visited any of these, and none of them are close to me. I don't go to salons frequently enough to be able to have a favourite ...
