Staff at The Lounge Falmouth are celebrating after their talents and service resulted in them being awarded a five star rating by the Good Salon Guide.

The Good Salon Guide is hairdressing’s answer to the well known hotel and pub guides. Recognised salons are visited and objectively assessed by professional inspectors. Salons are regularly reassessed to ensure standards are maintained.

Gareth Penn, managing director of the guide, said: “I am delighted that The Lounge Falmouth has succeeded in reaching the standards required to become a member of the Good Salon Guide."

Marc Sampson, the delighted salon owner of The Lounge Falmouth, added: “The Good Salon Guide is the long awaited measure that enables clients to know their hairdresser is a true professional. We are delighted to have achieved independent recognition of this salon’s standards.”
