The achievements of Hair, Beauty and Floristry students were celebrated at a special awards evening at ncn Clarendon Community Theatre on 29th June. The show was one of a selection of celebratory shows this year to mark ncn’s 10th Anniversary.

The awardees, each nominated by their tutors, received prizes donated by industry associates and sponsors, including Dermalogica, L’Oreal, La Beeby, Ellison, and The Guild of Professional Therapists.
