There is reason to celebrate at a Colliers Wood salon after making it through to the finals of a major award.

Kartee M Salon is up for the top prize in the 'most wanted salon' category as part of this year's London Hair and Beauty Awards.

The shop's owner, Kartee Munusamy, was blown away with the nomination.

"We’re absolutely delighted to be recognised again in this way, against what is always extremely strong competition," he said.

"It’s a tribute to the wonderful team we have and such an honour for a local independent business like ours to be through to the finals of such important and hotly-contested awards, among leading salons from all over London.

"Everyone here at the salon is incredibly excited and looking forward to being among some of the most talented teams in the capital at the awards evening.”

This is the fourth instalment of the awards, with Kartee already tasting success last year.

Winners will be announced on October 28.
