This year’s judges included the director of Eden Hair and Beauty Alice Robson, and Daniel Lustig co-owner of Lustig and Webb.
Simon Nix, who won last year’s Best in Show award said: “I love the Tim Burton theme and was blown away by the standard this year. The students had managed to pull together the complete package on hair, make-up and costumes.”
Judge Daniel Lustig said: “This is my second year of judging and it is incredibly difficult as the work is outstanding across the board. Clearly a huge amount of work has gone into tonight and it has been inspirational to see the up and coming talent in the industry locally.”
