Mia Bella Hair and Beauty salon is a finalist in the Welsh Hair and Beauty Awards 2023. This prestigious award has become the leading celebration of the hair and beauty professionals that work in Wales. Mia Bella is based in Pencoed, Bridgend, opposite the well-loved steak restaurant “The Steak and Stamp”.

Mia Bella is one of the eight finalists in the Best Customer Experience category.  The salon has won numerous awards including 5* Beauty Salon of the Year at the Welsh Beauty Industry Awards in 2019.  Mia Bella offers a one stop shop for local customers with a variety of treatments from gel nails to brow lifts to cuts and colours.

The salons owner Kelli Gwilliam said she was “absolutely over the moon” about receiving the nomination and takes pride in Mia Bella being a safe space where everyone is welcome. 

One of the regular customers Karen Forward said she chooses Mia Bella because she “feels really comfortable, the girls are all lovely with a nice atmosphere straight away and I don’t feel judged.” 

The salon now needs enough votes from customers to increase their chances of taking home the award. The awards will take place on Sunday the 14th of May 2023 at the Cardiff City stadium.
