The Barrie Stephen team celebrated a successful year with their annual awards, hosted at Manhattan Bar in Leicester.
Special guest - and Anstey salon regular - Paralympic Gold and Silver medallist, Dan Greaves, inspired the audience with the story of his sporting success and triumph over adversity, before it was over to Barrie and some special guests to hand out awards to a series of deserving winners.
Barrie Stephen said: "I'm immensely proud of what we've achieved over the last 17 years. Barrie Stephen is a name people associate with high quality hairdressing but when people come up to me in the street, or stop me in the salons...they don't talk about me, or the brand or the name...they talk about my team. They are the business!"
