A home salon in Luton has been named as a finalist in a prestigious national competition.

Hair To Dye For by Kirsty is a finalist in the Best Home Salon category at the UK Hair and Beauty Awards 2025.

Run by local colour specialist Kirsty Hughes, the business is one of several shortlisted for the national title, which celebrates creativity, client satisfaction, and innovation in the hair and beauty industry.

The salon operates from a purpose-built studio in Kirsty’s home and has grown through word-of-mouth and social media to become one of the most sought-after destinations for colour work in the area.

The name behind the colour—Hair To Dye For by Kirsty, now officially award-nominated.

Kirsty said: “I’m incredibly grateful to be shortlisted. I started Hair To Dye For to create something warm and personal—and never expected it to be recognised like this. It truly means the world.”

Located in Luton, Kirsty’s studio serves clients from across Bedfordshire and beyond, with her Instagram page @hairtodyeforbykirsty helping showcase her work to a growing audience.

Winners will be announced later this year at the UK Hair and Beauty Awards ceremony.
