National Winner: Customer Service Award – Make Up 2026

I don't often blow my own trumpet, but today I'm going to. I'm absolutely over the moon to share that I've been named National Winner of the Customer Service Award – Make Up at the Nation's Salon Awards 2026.

Alison Petitjean, award-winning bridal hair and makeup artist in Darlington

Why customer service matters so much to me

Customer service has always been at the heart of my business. Bridal hair and makeup is about so much more than the finished look. It's about making every bride feel listened to, comfortable, confident and completely looked after from the moment she sits in my chair – from the first enquiry and the bridal trial, right through to the final touch-ups before she walks down the aisle.

To have that recognised on a national level means more than I can say.

Two years of national recognition

What makes this even more special is the journey over the last two years:

  • 2025 – 2nd nationally, Bridal Specialist of the Year

  • 2026 – 6th nationally, Best Bridal Individual

  • 2026 – National Winner, Customer Service Award – Make Up

I've worked incredibly hard to build a business I'm proud of, so seeing my name as the winner is a moment I'll never forget.

Thank you

Thank you to every bride and client who has trusted me, recommended me, reviewed me and supported my business over the years. You have all played a part in this.

If you're planning your wedding and want a calm, relaxed morning with an award-winning artist looking after you, take a look at my wedding makeup and wedding hair services, or get in touch to check my availability.

You can see the original announcement on my Facebook page.
