A BEAUTY salon has been nominated for an award for the third year running.

Nails and Beauty by Luba in Epping High Street is up for a Customer Excellence Award (CEA) after being nominated by one of its customers.

The shop hopes to make it a hat-trick after scooping the accolade in 2008 and 2009.

Owner Luba Stending said: "I'm really happy. The winners are announced at the end of the year and I hope we win."
