Only six months after opening, LUXE was nominated for Hair & Beauty Salon of the Year in the T&A’s Retail, Leisure & Hospitality Awards.

Rosie is the beauty therapist - offering BIAB nail treatments as well as brows, lash lifts, and waxing.

Gabriella is the hair stylist who "loves giving her clients new confidence through their hair".

Rosie was keen to thank all those who had voted for the salon.

"People from the local area in Saltaire village have popped in to say they don't usually come in but had seen us in the T&A and voted.

"So many people who we did not even think would have voted, have. People that we don't even know or have not met.

"A lot of our clients have gone to absolute town on it every day - either posting it or dropping them in."

Expansion could be on the horizon (Image: Newsquest) The sky is the limit for the pair, who are already looking at ways they can expand the salon.

Rosie said: "We are hoping to keep growing.

"Gabs has talked about doing a mini brand almost for hair products. I have got a couple of little treatments that I am working on.

"We are absolutely rushed off our feet, we can never get to the phone. We would love to have a receptionist."
