June 13, 2011 - PRLog -- Nominations came in droves from all over Scotland suggesting the general public were eager to ensure that their favourite and most trusted salons and beauticians would not miss out on the coveted Titles. Waves of nominations were still arriving right up to the closing date deadline meaning the Awards were a very tight contest. Managing Director of INAA.com and host of the Awards ceremony, Joanne Reid said, “The anticipation and eagerness felt from beauty therapists and hair salons up and down the country in the run up to the Awards ceremony proved that the night was bound to be a success! We are very proud of all those nominees who were shortlisted and of course the eventual winners. It is with great pride that INAA.com has been able to support and reward the hair and beauty industry within Scotland, hosting a night of celebration, fun and very importantly raising money for our charity partner CP Sport.”
