Cornwall Hair and Beauty awards
2025 has truly been a year of wins and celebration for us. Our beauticians attended the very first Cornwall Hair and Beauty Awards, and it was an unforgettable experience. Our salon co-owner, Agne, took to the stage twice as we proudly brought home two significant awards: Best Nail Salon in Cornwall 2025 and 2nd Place for Best Lash Lift Specialist.This recognition means the world to us and reflects the dedication, skill, and passion we put into every client’s experience. We are incredibly grateful and motivated to keep raising the bar.

EUROPEAN NAIL CHAMPIONSHIP
Empress Team at the Booksy European Manicure Competition – A Historic Win!
On the 19th–20th of July 2025, half of our Empress team traveled to support Julia in Tenerife, Spain, where she competed in the Booksy European Simple Manicure category—her first time entering this prestigious competition.
The event brought together some of the most talented hairdressers and stylists from across Europe and the USA. Our team had the incredible opportunity to network with these top professionals during presentations and celebration moments. We exchanged social media and stories, which left us truly inspired and more driven than ever to elevate our own work and align with the latest European fashion and beauty trends.
Amid this vibrant and competitive atmosphere, Julia delivered an exceptional performance and took home First Place—earning the title of Best Manicurist in Europe! She competed against 12 of the finest nail artists from countries including the UK, Spain, Poland, and France.
This victory was not only a personal triumph for Julia but also a monumental moment for our entire team. It marks a significant milestone in her career—opening new doors and bringing her closer to her dream of becoming an educator in the industry.
The Empress Team and management are incredibly proud of Julia and remain committed to supporting her journey. Her talent, dedication, and ambition reflect everything we stand for.
Here's to continued growth, creativity!
