Awards success for Falkirk businesses at the Scottish Make Up Awards 2024

Steph Chisholm from Salon Sisters in the High Street was named both regional winner for central Scotland and overall winner in the Lash Extension Specialist of the Year category at the awards.

She was among the top make up professionals from across Scotland to be recognised at the awards ceremony in Glasgow last week.

The awards, which are now in their third year, aim to celebrate the masters who create luscious looks and provide top class services and treatments using innovative products and techniques.

In a post on her Facebook page, Steph described the win as a “pinch me moment”. She said: "The nerves I felt standing up on that stage were unreal and I couldn’t believe it when I heard that I had won . Thank you for all my clients for supporting me in my business and thank you for my friends and family for pushing me to strive.

“Thank you to you all for your support and your votes”

But it wasn’t just the town centre salon that was among the local winners.
