Guardian Best of 2024 top 10 hair salons and stylists revealed

Which of these salons and stylists is a cut above the rest?

After launching our Best of 2024 competition in the Northwich and Winsford Guardian and Knutsford Guardian last week, we wanted to find the area’s best hairdresser, barber or independent stylist.

We asked you, our readers, to tell us who you would recommend and we’ve put together a top ten.

Now we need your help to choose an overall Best for Hair winner from our shortlist.

There are three ways to vote:

1. Search for the Best for Hair shortlists post on our Northwich, Winsford and Middlewich, and Knutsford Facebook and X (Twitter) pages and comment under the post with the name of your winner = 1 vote

2. Name your favourite in the comments section on this article via our website = 2 votes

3. Purchase a copy of this week’s Northwich and Winsford Guardian or Knutsford Guardian (April 25 edition) and fill in the entry form = 5 votes

(*NB For newspaper entries, email a screenshot of the completed entry form to heidi.summerfield@newsquest.co.uk – please note that only original copies will be accepted. More than one entry can be submitted per person but you will be asked to provide your own unique reference code for each entry to avoid duplication eg if your name is Smith you may wish to write Smith123 or HS21! as your code. You will need to provide a different code for each entry submitted. For full terms and conditions go to Newsquest.co.uk/terms)

Voting officially opens today, Thursday, and closes at midnight on Sunday, April 28 and we will be announcing the winner next week.

Keep an eye out for our next Best of 2024 appeal on our social media pages on Friday.
