A woman who set up a beauty spa in her parents' back garden has won an award.
The Beauty Lodge was started eight years ago by Nadine Latif, in a small summer house in her parents' garden, at their home on Glendale Avenue, Wood Green.
They were recently awarded day spa of the year for North London by the Hair and Beauty Awards 2015.
Ms Latif said: “It was a shock to be nominated as we are so hidden away and do not have a shop front. All of our clientele are through referrals so we certainly never expected to win not having much recognition in the area, but we obviously do.
“It was such a surprise to win and such an honour as we were up against some tough competition.
“I have built the business up over the past 8 years so we are so happy and proud to have been awarded with such an award. All our hard work has been paid off.”
