20-year-old Preston beautician Cerys Lawton wins second place for Best Eyebrow Wax and Tint Artist

Brow artist Cerys Lawton, who owns Angel & Co which is based on Blackpool Road in Preston was awarded second place for the Best Brow Wax and Tint of The Year under 2 years’ International Award at The Brow Awards 2023.

She submitted pictures of her work on The Brow Awards website which was blind judged on multiple things such as how even both brows are, and was then selected to attend the awards last month held at Eastside Rooms Marriott, Birmingham on Saturday, September 23.

Cerys, who went to Penwortham Girls High School told the Post: “I was shocked to win because it was an international award with between 4-5k entries and so many amazing brow techs were entering, but I believe I won this award because my work stood out above the rest which is a huge compliment and just inspires me to keep going and be even better.

"I have owned Angel & Co for two years. I rent a chair in a salon in Preston which is owned by an amazing hairdresser. I am really proud of my achievements. I have been brought up to have a positive outlook and to go for whatever I want to achieve. I am so so proud that I have my own business as well as having four of my own brand products on sale. I have had a really tough few years with a number of significant loses but I just channel that into my work which I love.”

As well as a brow wax and tint, brow lamination, hybrid brows (eyebrow colouring), a lash lift and tint (LVL), dermaplaning are all available by Cerys, with the hope of extending into semi permanent makeup treatments in the near future.

She added: “I am in the process of setting up my own premises to work from, in addition to renting a chair at the salon enabling a broader catchment area and opportunities for more clientele to access my services/products.

“I believe when a person comes in to have their eyebrows done, they are putting their most looked at facial feature in my hands which is a huge responsibility that I take seriously. I also provide a tailored experience to perfect my clients brows so they have what they believe is the perfect brow for them.

"Angel&Co is set apart from other beauticians in so many different ways. The main one would be that I have an eyebrow product line out as well as doing treatments.

“My favourite part of my job is making a person feel comfortable when they come to their appointment and confident when they leave their appointment.

What's the secret to perfect brows?

“The secrete to perfect brows is a great brow artist. Whether that is the person them selves or the brow tech that they go to. This is my first award with hopefully plenty more to come. My ultimate goals is to have my own brow empire where I can offer treatments/training/Brow events and have a pop up product shop."
