A BARNSLEY-BASED hair salon is celebrating after scooping two prestigious awards.

Russell Eaton, on Shambles Street, triumphed at the Fellowship of British Hairdressing Awards.

Daniel Couch, technical director at the salon, won the colour project of the year award, with stylist Amelia Evans being named as one of the four winners in the Fellowship of Academy Merit Excellence (FAME) team for 2015.

FAME - an annual initiative created to promote an elite group of young hairdressers - offers a platform for future stardom in the industry.

Creative director Robert Eaton said: "We've always been keen on supporting and stretching our team, challenging them to push their limits creatively and technically.

"Danny and Amelia's wins demonstrate the outstanding commitment and enthusiasm they being to their respective careers."
