Lemons and Monica Tolan among IIAA Irish salons of the year

Lemons Hair & Beauty Salon, Monica Tolan Clinic and Wexford Skin Clinic have been awarded as distributor IIAA's top salon accounts in Ireland. 

The UK and Ireland distributor for Jane Iredale, Environ and ANP awarded the three businesses during its Salon of The Year Awards in London.

David Alpert, managing director and founder of the IIAA, congratulated each salon on their achievements and expressed his gratitude for their efforts: 

“This is our ninth Salon of the Year event and once again, I am so proud of the commitment our salon professionals offer their clients to achieve the best in long-term skin health.” 

The annual ceremony, now in its ninth year, was this year held at London hotel The Four Seasons at Ten Trinity Square and was hosted by comedian Ruby Wax. Nominated IIAA salon accounts attended and were treated to a lunch before the ceremony began.

The Irish salons were awarded in recognition of their success with one award given for each of the distributor's three brands. Lemons Hair & Beauty Salon, Dublin, won Jane Iredale Salon of the Year, Ireland; Monica Tolan, which has sites in Malahide and Balbriggan, won Environ Salon of the Year, Ireland; and Wexford Skin Clinic took home the The Advanced Nutrition Programme Salon of the Year, Ireland, award. 

The Salon of Excellence Award went to UK salon The Nail & Body Boutique in Reigate, which uses all three brands. Other UK accounts to take home awards included Tessa Stevens Health & Beauty Clinic, Clarity Laser and Justyna Kielar.
