Final chance for accomplished hairstylist Eloise
STYLIST Eloise Ashcroft from The Master Barber’s Shop has secured her reputation as one of the UK’s most outstanding hairdressers after being named a finalist in HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards 2019.
Capturing the attention of a host of industry judges, Eloise is one of just six stylists in Britain nominated for Salon Stylist of the Year, sponsored by JOICO.
The category celebrates the best qualified stylists who work full time in a British salon.
Strong in both technical and relational skills, Eloise stood out for her customer care, extensive product knowledge and commitment to keeping up-to-date with the latest industry trends.
Interest in training and professional growth was essential too, as was evidence of wider contribution to the salon team, not forgetting glowing client testimonials.
Jayne Lewis-Orr, executive director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards said: “To be named a finalist in the Salon Stylist of the Year category confirms just how exceptional Eloise is.
“Potential winners have to show wide-reaching excellence, effortlessly knowing how to combine technical prowess with a fantastic ability to connect with both customers and their colleagues.
“The award pinpoints hairdressers who know technique, but who also bring their personality and drive to the table and contribute massively to the overall success of a salon.”
Eloise said: “I was thrilled to hear that I made the finals! Hairdressing is where I come alive and it’s a joy to meet people all day as well as continually grow in technique.
“I have the most supportive managers who I owe so much to – they believe in me and this makes me want to do a brilliant job and invest back into the salon.
“It’s a delight to come to work!” Daniel Rix, co-owner of The Master Barber’s Shop, said: “Myself and Robert decided to enter Eloise through to this prestigious competition due to her professional attitude and input towards the industry and the business.
“Over the years we have as a business won various national awards, but now feel that members of our team are capable of representing themselves and our business in a National arena.’’
Daniel added: “Myself and Robert wish Eloise all the luck in the world.”
