Two young midland stylists have been awarded a top hairdressing qualification.

Louise Davis, 24, and Sarah Harris, 21, who both work at Tanya Harris Hairdressing in Leicester, recently qualified as Wella Master Colour Experts.

The duo, who have been studying with Wella at their state-of-the-art studio in London for the past year, now join a small group of stylists in the UK who hold the award.

Salon owner Tanya said: “The Wella programme is known throughout the hairdressing industry as one of the best colour courses available. The knowledge that Louise and Sarah have gained is immense and will be a huge benefit to the salon.

“They put a tremendous amount of hard work and effort into it and we are so proud of them both.”

Sarah and Louise both gained qualifications at Leicester College
where Sarah won apprentice of the year in 2010 and Louise won student of the year in 2007.

The instructors at Wella were so impressed with the stylists’ work that they intend to use their portfolios to help teach future students.
