A TEAM of nail technicians and beauticians from York have been nominated for a prestigious industry award.
Simone Potter and her team at Capricorn Nails, in Tang Hall Lane, were put forward for Nail And Beauty Salon Of The Year at the Scratch Nail And Beauty Awards, and have made it to the final shortlist.
Simone, 42, said: “We were told to put ourselves forward by a supplier, so I entered us and our clients, and other suppliers voted for us. Out of 1,200 applicants, we’ve made it to the final five.
“It’s really exciting, we’re over the moon. I’ve been in the industry for 15 years, so it’s brilliant that we’ve been recognised.”
The team are set to travel to London in May for an awards ceremony where they will find out if they have won the top title, with the final decision being made by a panel of judges.
Simone said: “We’d love to win. It would just be such a major achievement to be recognised for all our hard work and what we do.”
