A beloved Proserpine salon has earned statewide recognition after being named one of Queensland's top hair and beauty businesses in the 2026 Queensland Day All The Best Awards.
Deb's Hair and Beauty secured second place in the Hairdresser/Barber category, placing the Proserpine business among the best in the state following a record-breaking public vote.
Deb's Hair and Beauty finished second only to Sarge's Barber on the Gold Coast, while Charlie Parrella Hairdresser in Brisbane rounded out the top three.
The result shines a spotlight on the quality of small businesses operating across the Whitsundays and reflects the strong support Deb's Hair and Beauty has built within the local community.
For Proserpine, the recognition places one of the town's longstanding local businesses firmly on the Queensland map.
The result comes as communities across the state celebrate Queensland Day and the people and businesses that help make the Sunshine State unique.
Premier Crisafulli congratulated all winners and finalists, saying their success reflected the pride Queenslanders have in supporting local businesses.
"Congratulations to every winner and to the thousands of Queenslanders who got behind them to take the crown in their category."
