"A Young hairdresser beat off stiff competition to take part in a national hairdresser of the year challenge at the prestigious Clothes Show Live. A stylist who works at K2 the Salon in the Darwin Centre, appeared at the annual show in Birmingham to vie for the accolade and said the experience was fantastic. "I’ve only been doing hairdressing for a year and was really pleased to be nominated for the title. We had to recreate a look on stage and one of the judges was Jamie Stevens, the celebrity hairdresser of the year. Unfortunately I didn’t win but the experience was great and I hope to do better next year,” she added. "It is the third year running that the salon has entered succesfully someone in this competition." Shrewsbury Chronicle
