The categories included Cut and Colour and Mash-Up which consisted of a creative cut with a colour.
Student of the year Nina Blisset said: “To be honest, it feels a bit surreal. I had a challenging run up to the competition, as I struggled to secure a model. It all came together at the last minute, so I just thought I’d go and enjoy the experience which I did.
“It was a total shock when, out of all the people there, they said I had won! I really expected to hear a different name and I just thought ‘was that my name’ – then everyone around me started cheering. I couldn’t believe it!”

“For Nina and Jesse to both pick up awards is outstanding, and to have another of our students achieve the title ‘Student of the Year’ really recognises the hard work and dedication the team demonstrate every day.”
Subsequently to the competition Lee Stafford visited Chichester College to host an employer evening showing techniques in order to train new stylists.
