We Won Salon of Excellence at the IIAA Salon of the Year Awards 2026!

June 25, 2026

I am beyond thrilled to share some incredible news with you all. Mary Jeffrey has been awarded Salon of Excellence 2026 at the prestigious IIAA Salon of the Year Awards.

The awards ceremony took place at the beautiful Rosewood London on Monday 22nd June 2026 and it was an unforgettable evening celebrating some of the very best skin therapists and clinics from across the UK and Ireland.

The IIAA Awards are among the most respected accolades in the beauty and skincare industry, recognising excellence in advanced skincare, innovation, client care and outstanding treatment results.

To be recognised by an organisation that represents world-leading brands including Environ Skincare, Advanced Nutrition Programme and et al. makeup is an honour beyond words.

What This Award Means To Us

This award means so much to me both personally and professionally. For almost 30 years I have dedicated my career to helping clients achieve healthy, radiant skin that gives them confidence and helps them truly love the skin they're in.

But this award isn't just mine. It belongs to every member of the Mary Jeffrey family.

We are all absolutely buzzing to have won the Salon of Excellence award at the IIAA Salon of the Year Awards. Between us we've given decades of our lives to Mary Jeffrey and winning this means more than we can put into words. It's a reflection of every client we've cared for, every skill we've worked hard to perfect and every day we've shown up doing what we truly love.

Our dedication to skincare comes from the genuine love we have for the brands we use and the results we see. To transform someone's skin into something they are so happy and proud of is the most amazing feeling. We make a terrific team and that shines through in everything we do. Between us we bring so much knowledge to skincare, always taking the time to understand what is truly best for each individual client, and we are so grateful to be so highly thought of by every single one of them.

To Our Wonderful Team

To my wonderful team: Debra, Michelle, Justine, Izabela, Siobhan and June: thank you. Your passion for skincare, your knowledge and your dedication to every client inspire me every day. Watching the care you give and the incredible results you achieve makes me so proud.

And I know how much this award means to each of you. In your own words:

"The hard work and dedication to skincare is all due to the genuine love we all have for the brands we use. It never fails to amaze us the results we see in salon. We all genuinely work so well as a team and it empowers us to do the best we can for all of our clients."

Michelle and Deborah still smile about the fact that I was their lecturer at college for two years before they joined me here at Mary Jeffrey. Life has a funny way of coming full circle, and I wouldn't change it for the world.

A Special Note from June

From June personally:

"I first met Nicola 29 years ago. We both started at Mary Jeffrey on the very same day: me as a receptionist and Nicola as a newly qualified therapist. To watch everything she has achieved since that day has been an absolute delight, and to have been part of that journey is something I will always feel privileged to say. I am so incredibly proud of her

An Unforgettable Journey to London
It was also so lovely to share this experience with Justine. Our celebrations actually started long before we arrived in London: with a 5.30am train, doing our makeup, taking our vitamins and getting ourselves awards-ready on the journey. It certainly made for some wonderful memories before an unforgettable day.

To Our Incredible Clients

To our wonderful clients: thank you. Your loyalty, trust and support have made this possible. Your messages since the win have genuinely moved us and reminded us exactly why we do what we do. Whether you've been with us for years or have only recently begun your skincare journey, you are part of the Mary Jeffrey family and this award belongs to all of us.

Looking Ahead

Winning the Salon of Excellence award isn't the finish line. It's inspiration to keep learning, growing and delivering the very best results for every client who walks through our doors.

Thank you to everyone who has believed in us and supported us over the years. Here's to many more years of healthy, glowing skin and celebrating success together.

With love,

Nicola Nally x
