A SALON has been named as the best in Colchester by the Gazette's loyal readers.

Radiance, in William Harris Way, has received the Your Favourite Health and Beauty Salon award for 2023.

It comes following a Gazette competition for which members of the public were asked to nominate their favourite beauty salons.

A shortlist of five publically-voted for nomiees was then compiled before Radiance was declared the winner.

Tia Weight, the Salon Manager for Radiance said: "It is with immense gratitude and joy that we accept the award for the Best Health and Beauty Salon.

"We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to our loyal clients and customers.

"Without your trust, support, and valuable feedback, we would not be receiving this award.

"Your loyalty and belief in our salon have fueled our passion to continuously strive for excellence, constantly improving our services and offerings."

Bosses at Radiance have also praised their dedicated team of workers.

Tia added: "None of this would have been possible without our incredible team.

"Our skilled and talented therapists have shown unwavering commitment, attention to detail, and a dedication to providing exceptional beauty and wellness experiences to every client who walks through our doors.

"This award is a testament to their hard work, creativity, and the genuine care they bring to each interaction.

"Last but not least, we want to acknowledge the community we are fortunate to be a part of.

"We deeply value the trust and confidence you have placed in us as your preferred health and beauty."

"We dedicate this award to each and every person involved in our journey – our clients, our team, and our community.

"It is your belief in us that has propelled us forward, constantly challenging us to reach for new heights."

Radiance offers customers a range of treatments, including nail extensions, waxing, lash lifting and tinting. 

The salon can also do laser tattoo removals, skin treatments and massages. 

"As we move forward, we promise to continue raising the bar, striving for excellence, and creating cutting-edge beauty and wellness experiences," added the spokeswoman.

"We are tremendously grateful for this recognition, and we are even more determined to exceed your expectations, providing you with a sanctuary of relaxation, rejuvenation, and transformation."
