Charlotte has been at the college since September 2021, first studying the Level 2 evening hairdressing course and then progressing onto Level 3 hairdressing.

She praised the support of tutors for her achievement, saying: "Having only been officially hairdressing for just over a year now, I am so proud of myself for not only achieving this finalist spot, but also for getting where I am today.

"I completely dedicate myself to my hair work and putting a smile on a client’s face is one of the best feelings in the world.”

Charlotte added: “Having been wanting to pursue a career in hairdressing but never got the chance to attend daytime courses, SMB College Group has allowed me to chase my dreams and officially become a self-employed hairdresser.”
