Additionally we constantly challenge ourselves by entering both industry and business competitions, to maintain our skills and measure ourselves against others. We are gathering an enviable collection of awards, scooping two national Great Lengths awards and twice winning both the Rossendale Small Business of the Year and Valley at Work awards, as some examples. We also won the coveted Red Rose Small Business of the Year Award and we were finalists in the HJ British Hairdressing Business Awards, Salon of the Year 1. More recently our Great Lengths Extensionist Shelby added 3 more finalist awards plus we won Rossendale Apprentice Award.

Tufties is also very active in the wider community and takes great pride in the work we do supporting schools and charities.

Career talks and providing work experience to school children; organising and running various events to raise money for charities; holding pamper events at hospices and for the physically handicapped; are just some of the many activities we are regularly involved in.

We have also visited Romania to teach hairdressing to older orphans and work with Noreen’s Kids and sponsor the Rossendale Tigers football team. Our recent campaign involved the collecting for the homeless and working closely with the Salvation Army and a local Women’s Refuge. It’s another aspect of life at Tufties that all look to contribute to and thoroughly enjoy.

We have exciting plans for 2021/22 and we intend to keep moving forward and never stop working hard both in the salon and in our community.
