If your salon employs two or more staff members and attains at least 70% of its annual treatment revenue from hand, foot and nailcare services, then this category is for you! The Nail Salon of the Year award is for a team that delivers exceptional service to its clients - from the booking process to aftercare, and offers a diverse range of hand/foot/nailcare treatments. The environment is clean, comfortable and suited to its clientele.

Notes:

• Your salon must have been trading in your current location for a minimum of 12 months (on or before 1 February 2025).
• This category is not suitable for home-based salons: enter Home Nail Salon of the Year instead.
• If less than 70% of your annual treatment menu comes from hand, foot and nailcare services, but you offer nail treatments, enter the Nail & Beauty Salon of the Year category instead.
• Also, why not enter your team into the Nail Team of the Year category, too?

What happens next? When entry closes on 15 March, all applications will be assessed. Five finalists in this category will be revealed on 6 April, and receive a visit from a mystery shopper. Their report, plus other criteria, will be assessed by a panel of judges. Their scores will determine the winner, who will be announced at The Scratch Stars Party in London on 5 July.
