Owner thanks team and 'loyal customers' after winning Bolton's Best Salon Award
A salon with luxury treatment has been voted by the public as the best in the borough.
Thomas Herbert in Wigan Road, Westhoughton, has won our Bolton's Best Hairdresser 2025 competition.
The salon, which has been running for eight years, is Redken exclusive - a high-end hair products company.
Owner Gemma Hulton has been a hairdresser for 20 years and opened the salon to showcase her own abilities and vision for innovative hairdressing.
She said: "We would like to thank our loyal customers, who went just to take the time to vote for us.
"We were surprised how many went out of their way to post their votes.
"Lots mentioned how they had submitted their slips, it is really nice, especially as we didn't even ask them to do it.
"We have really loyal customers from the eight years we have been here.
"We have won an award before when we were in Bolton town centre, but I did not actually know about this one until we were in the final for it. We are made up."

"I have been a hairdresser for 20 years this year, I do teach a bit in London as well.

"We massively appreciate the award and the opportunity."
