McLaren & Co Barbering, Hair Replacements & Aesthetics are in the final stage of the UK Hair and Beauty Awards, nominated for four categories.
They have been recognised for their high standards and have been shortlisted and became finalists for four categories at The UK Hair and Beauty Awards this year, taking place in Birmingham on April 21st and 22nd.
They are nominated for: Barber of the Year, Barber Shop of the Year, Best For Aesthetics and Best Business Branding. They will be competing locally representing Eccles, followed by regionally and then nationally at the final event.
The UK Hair and Beauty Awards celebrate the beauty industry and support businesses to help them grow and expose them to new opportunities. It will be hosted by Duncan James and Jake Quickenden.
Ian McLaren, owner of McLaren and Co. feels extremely grateful to be nominated, he said: “Meeting people with the same interests and same passions…it’s nice to support each other instead of people trying to knock other people down.”
He and his husband, Jack, created the place from scratch, renovating it completely, painting and beautifully decorating it themselves, taking nine weeks to make it perfect before they opened.
Extremely passionate about his work, he has been in the industry since he was 16 years old, working alone to provide all services, six days a week. His decision to dive in and create his own shop came when he thought: “If I don’t do it now, I’m never going to.”
Ian is a certified, fully insured practitioner, specialising in all forms of men’s grooming, professional barbering, hair replacement systems and aesthetics treatments.
Ian feels it is important to support small businesses. He said: “We’ve seen so many stores open up and so much money and effort is put into them, but people just go once and they end up closing down.”
The shop is open from 9am-8pm Monday to Friday and 9am-6pm on Saturday and take bookings and consultations and walk-ins are welcome too. Located at 26 Church Street, Eccles, M30 0DF next to Eccles Tram, Rail and Bus Station. All information as well as how to contact them is on their Facebook and Instagram pages.
