Derry Moody, Acting Head of Hairdressing at Uxbridge College, said: “This evening not only celebrates the creative work of the students, but the commitment of all those employers providing on-the-job training for them. I’m sure everyone will agree it is vital for stylists to have the best possible skills - and they don’t get these without the right training. This is where the college’s expertise meets the expertise of industry and I think between us we are doing a great job.”
