The Beauty Box, on Bondgate Within, is the only salon in Northumberland to be honoured with the accreditation.

“We want to bring the best to Alnwick and this award has been down to a team effort. All of the girls have worked really hard to achieve this.”

The salon has been stocking Guinot products for more than 40 years. In 2016, the Beauty Box was crowned Guinot Regional Business Growth winner.

Angela Miller, Guinot’s business development manager for the North East, praised The Beauty Box.

She said: “It takes a lot of hard work and effort to be awarded Crown status. It is a very special award that only goes to a select number of salons. It is really well deserved and it is a massive achievement.

“It goes to the top 10 per cent of salons who represent everything that we want for the brand; how the salon looks, the standard of treatments, participating in our promotions and the type of equipment used.”
