SYDNEY SALON WINS PBS’ COVETED SALON OF THE YEAR AWARD!
Last year, as COVID-19 cases spiked and lockdowns became the new normal, here at Professional Beauty Solutions (PBS) we were devastated to have to cancel our annual Skin Summit event that plays hosts to our Annual Awards Night Gala Evening. This year, nothing was more important to us than ensuring we could recognise our salon partners with an awards evening – no matter what circumstances were thrown our way. With that in mind, our Salon of the Year Awards went online with PBS hosting their first-ever Virtual Awards ceremony. Held on Monday evening, 16th August 2021, we had over 100 salons, spas and clinic partners from across Australia join us for our virtual awards ceremony, and what a night it was! There were tears of joy, lots of laughter and huge smiles shining through the camera lenses of every attendee. Here at PBS, we were thrilled to take a night to appreciate all our hardworking partnered salons and pay tribute to the amazing success they have had over the last 18-months (especially during the face of a global pandemic). Our partnered salons truly showed nothing but grit, perseverance and strength over the past year-and-a-half, each proving they have more than enough passion and ability to succeed, even during lockdowns, restrictions and financial hardship. With 18 awards on offer, from Stockist of the Year & Hall of Fame to Highest Growth & Marketing Excellence, the night belonged to The Temple Skincare & Spa who were crowned the highest honour - PBS 2021 Salon of the Year. When it comes to choosing our Salon Of The Year winner, we look at several things including sales and sales growth, team passion for our brands, dedication to training, and finally innovation with not only surviving but thriving and growing in a pandemic was also a defining factor. Rene Herald, owner of The Temple Skincare & Spa has created a space of trust for skin, body, and soul, where advanced skin treatments meet holistic wellness...a perfect unique blend of luxury day spa with cutting edge medi-spa based modalities.
