Lauren Williams, of Beauty by Lauren, was recently awarded NHF Welsh Beauty Therapist of the Year at the NHF’s Welsh Awards.
Hairdressing, barbering and beauty businesses gathered at The Coal Exchange in Cardiff. Based in Abertillery, the beauty therapist fought off competition to scoop the award at the ceremony, sponsored by Aston & Fincher.
“Can’t believe it!” Lauren says. “Thank you so much to everyone that voted and every single person that continues to support me every day – especially my loyal, fabulous clients. I couldn’t do a job that I love without any of you. Every year has got bigger and better and I cannot wait for what I have planned for 2019. Thank you!”
