FROM a quick tidy up to the perfect new style, hairdressers are a vital part of Salisbury life.

In light of this, and following a challenging 18 months for the industry, we want to give hairdressers in and around the city the recognition they deserve.

Last month we asked you, our readers, to tell us why your salon and hairdressing teams deserved a special shout out in our 'Hairdresser of the Year' competition.

We received hundreds of entries but the ones listed below are the businesses which received the most nominations.

To vote for your favourite venue among our 10 finalists, simply pick up a copy of the paper (Thursday, September 16 edition / September 23 edition) and fill out the form.

You can then post your completed coupon to: Salisbury Journal Hairdresser of the Year, Fleet House, Hampshire Road, Weymouth, Dorset, DT4 9XD.

Here are your finalists:
