A BISHOPBRIGGS stylist is through to the final stage of the L'Oreal Colour Trophy, one of hairdressing's most respected competitions.

Nikki Calder, of the award-winning Gallagher Horner Hair, Bishopbriggs, learned the news after competing in the Regional Final held at Glasgow's Thistle Hotel.

Her category - Young Colourist - called for 'a female look that demonstrates a wearable, commercial, fashion-led high street colour and finish.'

Nikki fought off strong competition from her peers to win the coveted place and will now go on to compete at the Grand Final, which will be held in June at the prestigious Grosvenor House Hotel in London.
