A Crouch End hair salon has been shortlisted for a national award.

Crown London, on Park Road, is one of six candidates bidding to be named as Best Newcomer in the Hairdresser's Jounal International's British Hairdressing Business Awards.

The salon will now contend for the title at the final to be held at the Lancaster London Hotel on September 12.

Owner Jay Lefevre said: “Showing that we are a serious business contender is important for us. We are naturally known for our creativity as hairdressers but the art of commerce is key to any successful business and we are delighted to be recognised by HJ’s award system in this way.

“It’s a great hair day for us and our team to shine within such a massive industry, and also be able to fly the flag of excellence for London.”
