A beauty salon has been nominated for a top national award just two months after opening. 

Industry veteran Beth Webb, 41, launched Luxe Beauty in Long Stratton in early November after dreaming of running her own business for 20 years.

And just two months later she has been named as a finalist for the Best New Salon category in this year's UK Hair and Beauty Awards.
