The Fellowship for British Hairdressing Luncheon and Awards is one of the most popular events in the hairdressing industry calendar and commenced with a champagne reception before guests were taken into a lavishly presented dining room to enjoy a Christmas lunch and awards ceremony. The Fellowship for British Hairdressing was founded over 50 years ago and is run by members, it’s an invitation only body with top hairdressers in the hair world as members, they uphold the highest professional standards, and believe in life-long training and education for all members.

“I can’t believe I won and I am extremely proud to be given the award for the work I undertook for the Hope for Children, which is an amazing charity. The things I completed and sacrificed for one year at the age of 30 was very challenging but the money I raised was worth it and to be recognised with an award is a great feeling,” explains Tia Bishop, Master Hair Consultant at Clispo Watford.
