ANDREA Beers, of Andrea Beers, Kidderminster salon, is one of the six regional finalists for the Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year Award in the 2008 British Hairdressing Awards.
The British Hairdressing Awards, launched in 1984 by Hairdressers Journal International and sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional, have celebrated and rewarded the best of British hairdressing creativity for the past 24 years and have fast become the Oscars of the hairdressing world.
To enter the competition, hairdressers working in salons throughout the United Kingdom have to submit four images, which fulfil the criteria.
Andrea entered the Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year category and has secured a place in the final of the awards.
She will now have to submit another four images, which will be judged along with the first four by industry experts, members of the British Hairdressing Awards Hall of Fame and hair journalists from the most influential and fashion-aware consumer magazines.
Andrea will have to wait until Monday, November 24 to find out if she will be awarded the title of Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year, when she attends a glittering awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel London.
The winners of the fifteen specialist and regional categories, and the prestigious British Hairdresser of the Year Award will be made by a leading media personality.
Andrea said: “I was delighted when I received my letter telling me I had made it to the finals. This year has been an incredible one for the salon.
“To be recognised by your peers as being one of the country's leading hairdressers and being involved in the British Hairdressing Awards is both a wonderful feeling and a great achievement."
