A CHESTER salon is aiming to be a cut above the rest as it has reached the semi-finals of a L'Oreal competition.

Miss Molly’s in Kingswood, Kingsway, has made it through the first round and into the semi-finals of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Award 2019.

This means the salon will now go head to head with salons at the North West Regional Semi-Final event on Tuesday, April 2 at Camp and Furnace, Liverpool.

During the first round, hundreds of photographic images from across the country were judged by the most influential names in hairdressing, including British Hairdresser of the Year Sally Brooks, Charlotte Mensah and Jamie Stevens as well as Errol Douglas MBE and Charles Worthington MBE.

Faith Taylor, who runs Miss Molly's hair salon in Kingsway and also works in Vain hair salon on Saturdays in Watergate Street, said: “It’s been my dream to win the L’Oréal Colour Trophy since I was 16 so I’m absolutely over the moon to get through to the semi-finals again!”

The next stage of the competition will put the team through their paces as they now look to create a truly inspirational, contemporary colour, complemented by trend-driven styling and finish.

The team of judges will be looking for work that is exceptionally executed and technically precise.

At each regional semi-final, six successful teams will be announced, two of which are guaranteed to compete at the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Grand Final in June, as well announcing who is to be taken forward to the shortlisted judging stage.

The L’Oréal Colour Trophy semi-finalists are in for a chance to win the unparalleled Grand Final prize of national media exposure, a European trip to shoot their winning look and an exclusive feature with a top consumer title.
