TOWN centre hairdresser John-Lee Guy has finished in the top five in the battle for the title of North West Salon of the Year at the English Hair and Beauty Awards.

The Deansgate salon won the title last year and finished in the top five in 2012.

The result of the competition was announced at the Mercure Manchester Piccadilly Hotel.

“It was a fantastic event,” said salon owner Mr Guy. “We were delighted to finish as one of the best salons in the region again.”
