Salon Vibe (Image: Supplied) She said: "It's so humbling to have been nominated for this award, I know that sounds really cheesy but it is really humbling. "Considering the age I was when I opened up the salon, the biggest thing for me was that I started off by myself and built the team up so hearing that feedback is really appreciated. "I specialise in har and when I was opening up the place I had worked in many salons before and I wanted to use my experience to create a really down-to-earth and comfortable place where you can come in your pyjamas if you really wanted to, a home from home. "What I love most about this is that clients become friends and we all muck in and help each other out and it's just an amazing job." (Image: Supplied) Sian also discussed why she believes that her clients enjoy visiting her salon, with her and her team's 'down-to-earth' personas as well as wide range of services playing a key role in this. She said: "I think people obviously like the great work that we do, we have so much fun and have a laugh. We are professional but we are also normal, down-to-earth people and I think people like to see that. "I think a big factor as well is the fact that we offer everything from hair, beauty, aesthetic, teeth, and dog grooming which I think sets us apart from others."
