HARD-WORKING hairstylists from Wirral had their efforts highlighted at a catwalk show in Leasowe Castle, Wallasey.

The celebration for Ian Henry hairdresser trainees, who have achieved NVQs in levels Two, Three and Four, gave them the chance to show off their new skills as qualified stylists.

Among the people to receive awards were Kerry Bradshaw from the Heswall salon for 'best effort' and Michelle Hughes from the Prenton salon for 'best overall'.

Ian Henry, director of Ian Henry hairdressers, said: "We hold the annual event at the end of each training year to recognise the achievements of our staff. They have done really well and it's great for them to show the rest of the staff their new skills."
