Paisley-based salon Dye for Love has achieved national recognition winning Gold for Creative Salon at the prestigious Salon Business Awards.
The award celebrates salons that push the boundaries of creative excellence, and Dye for Love, led by owner Sarah McCulloch, stood out for its striking blend of technical precision and artistic expression.
The exclusive awards ceremony took place on Monday 24th March at 12th Knot at the five-star Sea Containers hotel in London.
Sarah’s award-winning look titled Luminara was praised for its innovative use of light and shadow, combined with clean, rounded lines that showcased her mastery of hair artistry.
Sarah McCulloch, owner of Dye for Love, said: “The inspiration for Luminara came from my desire to merge technical precision with creative freedom.
“The use of light and shadow in the hair adds a unique dimension, while the round lines represent my journey in hairdressing.
“Winning Gold for Creative Salon is a proud moment for me and my team.”
The Salon Business Awards are renowned for celebrating the best in the hairdressing industry and attracting leading salons from across the UK.
The competition was fierce, making Dye for Love’s win even more significant. The judges were particularly impressed by Sarah’s ability to balance modern creativity with classic techniques, resulting in a look that was both sophisticated and visually striking.
Sarah’s dedication to her craft was evident in every step of the creative process, from selecting her model, Freya, to designing a custom wig using Schwarzkopf colours that brought the Luminara vision to life. The seamless blend of blonde ash tones with deep, dark sections added depth and movement, enhancing the overall impact of the look.
Sarah added. “Luminara reflects everything we stand for at Dye for Love. We’re passionate about combining technical skill with bold creativity to offer our clients modern interpretations of classic styles. This award is a testament to our commitment to innovation and the incredible talent within our team.”
