ASIA DHESI always thought she offered customers fantastic service when they visited her Miss Barton's beauty salon – now it's official.

The team at Dumbarton Road in Glasgow's west end recently received a Phorest Client Experience Award, making them among only 2% of salons in the UK and Ireland given a five out of five review by clients.

"We provide a more bespoke service, it's a boutique salon and we pride ourselves on customer service," says Asia, 40, from Milngavie.

"A lot of our clients are regulars and the feedback we get from them is they keep coming back because they are made to feel special - everyone knows their name, we know what kind of coffee they like, we know what's going on in their life.

"It's a personal service and a lot of clients say they don't get that elsewhere and can feel quite intimidated in on other salons. They don't feel that way when they come to Miss Barton's."

Standards are high at the salon, from the perfect shellac manicure to hair styling and beauty treatments.

Nail art and nail sculptures are a speciality, extending the nail length with gel for a natural finish.

"That's the ethos behind all our treatments: to keep everything looking very natural," says Asia, a former events manager who retrained as a makeup artist at the prestigious Jemma Kidd Makeup Academy in London and opened the salon three years ago.

"Every client who walks out still looks very natural. We don't go for the fake look, it's more about enhancing your features."

A pioneering treatment that is popular in London and still relatively unknown in Scotland is intense light therapy, of IPL, for permanent hair removal and skin rejuvenation.

Combined facial therapy includes it with a peel or microdermabrasion for fantastic skin results.

The five staff, including Asia, off head to toe treatments, from hair and nails to skin and body care. Offering everything under one roof means there is no longer the need to book separate appointments are different salons.

Perfect if you're getting ready for a wedding or a special occasion or packing in holiday prep before heading off to the sun.
