We are absolutely thrilled to have secured a coveted finalist spot for the UK's Salon of the Year in HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards 2025.

The judges recognised our innovative Inside-Out philosophy where we work hard to understand clients' unique identities to craft hairstyles that reflect their true selves. This approach, combined with a commitment to exceptional service and continuous team development, has positioned us as a leader in the industry.

Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing is one of just six finalists shortlisted for the Salon of the Year award which celebrates high-performing salons that excel in creativity, client experience, business strategy, and team leadership in the hairdressing industry.

These awards celebrate individuals and teams who continue to push boundaries, inspire future talent, and keep the UK hairdressing scene vibrant and influential on the world stage.

Cameron Willetts, Director of Combers Inside-Out Hairdressing, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to be shortlisted. This recognition is a testament to the dedication and passion of our entire team - 16 talented hairdressers, 4 exceptional receptionists, 4 promising apprentices, 2 senior assistants, and our invaluable administration staff. Their unwavering commitment to our clients and to each other creates the unique atmosphere that defines Combers Inside-Out.

"We also owe immense gratitude to our loyal clients, whose support and trust inspire us daily. Being acknowledged on a national stage reinforces our mission to provide transformative hairdressing experiences that reflect the individuality of each person. This accolade not only honours our team's hard work but also highlights the vibrant community we serve in Taunton and the wider Somerset area.”

Jayne Lewis-Orr, Executive Director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards, commented: “Our awards not only celebrate passion, creativity, and innovation but also highlight the vital role salons play in supporting thriving local high streets. In 2025, more than ever, hairdressing businesses are at the heart of our communities, driving local economies, creating jobs, and offering personal, high-quality services that online alternatives simply can’t replicate. Every finalist has  demonstrated outstanding business excellence, resilience, and dedication to delivering a standout client experience.”
