Academy helps Andrew Price Win Swansea Life's Best Hair Salon

Andrew Price's Swansea salon has been crowned the 'Best Hair Salon' in the 2011 Swansea Life Awards, an accolade that Andrew largely attributes to the quality of training provided through the Academy.

"The Andrew Price Group prides itself on the training and education offered to its staff and this award win is testament to their outstanding customer service".

129 salons were entered in this massively competitive competition, with the Swansea salon winning through to the final round after an incredible 8,000 public votes in the category. The last round of the competition, carried out by local judges making anonymous visits, saw the Swansea salon take the title.

"The mystery judges were so discreet that we didn't notice they had visited. We would like to thank everyone who voted".

Academy manager, Sonia Newcomb, said; "This is a really proud moment for us, we don't just train hairdressers, we train service and how to provide customers with a quality experience."

Andrew has always seen competition as a healthy part of business: "Competition is important in developing the industry, that's why the Academy is a separate business to our Group of salons, we provide the same training to our competitors as we do to our own franchises"
