A WEST Devon trainee hairdresser wowed judges to scoop first prize for her creation at an annual hair competition recently.

Natasha Fiskin, 20, from Cutting Company Hair and Beauty Salon in Yelverton, was awarded first place for her design in the second year 80s theme category at the GHQ Annual Hair Show held at Oceana Nightclub in Plymouth.

Co-owner of the Cutting Company Jayne Toland said: 'It was a fantastic night and we are very proud of all our girls who took part — there were some very high standards.

'We'd like to say a special congratulations to Natasha for winning, and thank you to Jon Mudie, from our education team, for all his help and support for this competition.'
