Local hairstylist Stacey Sharrinton-Jenkins has made it through to the semi-finals of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Awards where she will compete in the Men’s Image Award category at the Southwest Backstage Live Final event in Bristol on April 24.

In order to reach the semi-finals, salons across the country submitted photographs that were judged by the most influential names in hairdressing including Trevor Sorbie, Jamie Stevens, Adam Reed and Charles Worthington. Stacey, salon manager at Toni & Guy Falmouth, fought off tough competition and was chosen to go through to the next round of the competition – the Backstage Live Finals.

For the next stage of the competition the contestants will have to create a live model look that demonstrates an awareness for autumn//winter 2017/18 hair and fashion trends as outlined in the brief. The model look must be original, modern and inspirational. The team of judges are looking for a trend-setting, show stopping total look that can inspire clients and hairdressers.

Stacey said: “I am really excited to be going through to the Southwest Backstage Live event in Bristol. This is one of the most prestigious competitions in our industry and as the only Cornish salon in our category, I look forward to representing the county."

From these live events just the top four salons will go forward to compete at the L'Oréal Colour Trophy Grand Final to be held in London on June 5.
