Gold Winner Katherine Hanlon

Silver Winner Saskia Roch, Saskia Roch Aesthetics

Bronze Winner Lindsay Wilson, Remedy Facial Bar & Spa

This is a really big week for Katherine Hanlon. Not only is she being crowned with her sixth consecutive gold win for Best Aesthetician, she’s starting a new professional chapter at north end Halifax’s Dime Salon. “It was the most exciting of any year ever, with the timing of everything,” she says. “I don’t know how I got so lucky!” Hanlon credits her longtime employer, ZigZag Hair Salon, as well as her squad of regular clients, for helping to propel her award-winning (and awarding) career so far—and is stoked for what Dime will bring.
