The Fellowship’s President’s Night on Monday 8 May provided the setting for 18-year-old Evie Scrowston from Hays Salon in Hull, to be crowned winner of 2017’s Step Up & Shine.
Step Up & Shine
In association with the NHBF and the Fellowship, ‘Step Up & Shine’ was launched in honour of industry legend, Christopher Man, to nurture one stylist with a year-long £2,500 educational programme.
Step Up & Shine is in its fourth successful year with renowned hairdressing educator, Debbie G leading the way as project leader. Debbie will provide constant support to Evie ensuring the Step Up & Shine mentoring enhances and develops her career.
Entrants had to submit a 60 second video to Instagram and explain why they would be the perfect candidate to win the incredible scholarship. Evie was selected for her desire and passion to learn and improve her skills.
To present the highly-regarded industry award and announce the winner, NHBF president, Agnes Leonard took to the stage. Evie commented: “Hearing my name being called was incredible. It’s such an honour to be a part of this year’s Step Up & Shine, so I couldn’t be more excited to embark on this year-long journey and to the career prospects it will bring. I want to thank the Fellowship and the NHBF for this once in a lifetime opportunity!”
