“That’s because we are a one-stop shop,” owner Holly Baker said.

“We do everything hair and beauty, including eyelash extensions, facials, massage, ear and nose piercing plus all factors of hairdressing.”

Forever Hair and Beautyhas been operating for nearly five years and employs six staff, including Holly.

The salon won both categories of hair salon and beauty therapy last year, and hair salon in 2016.

“I like to offer a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere within the salon,” Holly said.

“People really enjoy spending time in the salon.

“Customer service has always been a must within the salon.

“Over the years I have grown the business by adding more beauty options to the menu, when customers realise they love the fact it’s all under the same roof.

“I'm proud of my team, they put in 100 per cent all the time and it shows to our clientele.”

The salon offers wedding packages, beauty, make-up and hair.

“We listen to you, get to know you and do our best to provide excellent service for you,” Holly said.

She enjoyed working and living in the Port Stephens area. “What I enjoy most is the location of weddings that we do with Napoleon Peris make-up and hair.”
