Salon's winning waves

JUNIOR hairdressers from Berkeley have scooped top prizes in their first competition.

Claire Booth, 16, and Emma Smith, 17, collected first and third prize at GLOSCAT's annual in-house competition.

Both girls work at the Michael Anthony salon in Canonbury Street.

Claire, of Stone, has been working at the salon for 11 months, while Emma, of Heathfield, has only worked at the salon for a month.

Manager Angela Benstead said: "I am absolutely ecstatic for them. We have only been here 11 months and this is the first competition we have entered. I am so pleased."

As well as their medals and certificates, the girls' prize was to attend the Salon Spring exhibition at the GMEX Centre in Manchester.
