Fellowship scholarship winner announced

The winner of this year’s Fellowship for British Hairdressing Scholarship is Georgina Cadwallader from KJM Salons in Fleet. Georgina has won a scholarship with Sassoon Academy and is about to embark on a four-week course spread over a four-month period, to develop her existing skills. The course will focus on the hairdressing skills needed to perform well in today’s competitive salon environment. The Sassoon creative team will educate Georgina on their world-renowned ABC cutting and colouring hair techniques, as well as working to develop her creative style. Alongside this, she will be supported by the PR team, enhancing her industry profile and keeping the industry updated with her Sassoon education. Georgina will also be provided with all the tools she needs, courtesy of Denman who also support the Scholarship financially. Sassoon Academy continue to offer this incredible annual prize to honour Vidal’s involvement as a past Patron of Honour of the Fellowship and it remains a hugely popular and sought-after initiative within the Fellowship. Georgina is a stylist and colourist at KJM Salons who began hairdressing four years ago. With a real thirst for the industry, she has previously won Junior of the Year in the KJM Salons awards, as well as receiving a special commendation from the judges and a training day with Debbie Gee. She has assisted on British Hairdressing Awards shoots and Fellowship Members’ Night presentations and dreams of working in London and raising her profile in the industry. “Winning the Sassoon Scholarship means absolutely everything to me,” says Georgina. “Being able to forward my career and skill set as a young hairdresser in this way is incredible. Being Sassoon trained is such a massive opportunity and I could not be more thankful. Dreams do come true!”
