Newcastle beauty salon wins two top awards

A POPULAR Tyneside beauty salon has won TWO top awards in a national annual hair and beauty awards.

Danu Studios, based in Hoults Yard, Newcastle, won the Beauty Salon of the Year (North East) category in the prestigious British Beauty Awards. Salon owner Lucy Adair also won the highly competitive Beauty Therapist of the Year (North East) category.

Lucy, who opened the luxury salon in 2021, said: “We’re so thrilled to have won – the team and I work so hard for our clients, and the awards are recognition of that hard work.

“It’s just amazing to win the two categories we were shortlisted for – I sleep and breathe Danu Studios and I’m so pleased for the Danu team.”

That team is now five strong.

“It’s a very talented team and the extremely positive reviews from so many of our happy clients helped us to win the awards. Beauty therapist Kelly Scott has a similar background to mine – working around the world in top health spas and on cruise ships.

“Jessica Taylor has her own successful strip lashes business and now works from Danu as Look to Lash, offering clients lash extensions.

“Ness Griffiths also has her own business, an aesthetic clinic based in Carlisle. Through Danu Studios Ness offers a brilliant range of aesthetic procedures. This year she’s also launched a menopause clinic which is going from strength to strength.”

Kerri Stephenson, who has 20 years experience of managing successful businesses, is Studio Manager at Danu.

Cramlington-born Lucy entered the beauty industry after gaining a beauty therapy qualification from North Tyneside College. She worked at some of the region’s top hotels and spas before travelling the world as a therapist on luxury cruise ships. Lucy then left the seas for the skies – working for Virgin Atlantic for six years.

She returned home to Tyneside to set up a salon in Jesmond, before opening Danu in 2021.

The salon is open every day, including Sundays, and late-night appointments are also available.
