Awards Judge

Being asked to judge any hair awards is a huge honour, when asked to judge the Hooker and Young salon group awards - I was thrilled!

Lisa and myself have always had a close relationship with our 'geordie lads' so I was really looking forward to seeing the boys and the latest hair shots from across the group. When I arrived at the Marriot Gosforth on Sunday 20th Feb, the preparation was already underway - with 4 awards categories; Assistant, Graduate Stylist, Stylist and Artistic Team.

All entries were outstanding and it was clear how much effort had gone into the entries, making it very difficult to judge.

After an afternoon of careful scrutiny and deliberation with my fellow judges who included - Jayne Lewis-Orr and Alison Jameson. We had a brief break, before returning downstairs to hear the winners announced. The evening was both fun and emotional for the whole group at Hooker and Young, and I had a blast. It was great to see another groups work and I was made to feel immensely welcome - Thank You!
