Debbie said: “I can’t believe that I’m nominated!

“I am so grateful to my clients for voting for me and just hope I can go on to win.”

A spokesperson for the Scottish Beauty Industry Awards 2019 said: “The awards will shine the spotlight on the talented professionals who have shown great passion, commitment and innovation for the beauty industry, who often don’t get the recognition they deserve.
