We’re delighted to share that Libby Bowden, a learner at Collinge & Co Training, has been named this year’s UK Denman College Star!
Libby’s blow dry impressed the judges with its balance, volume and overall beautiful finish. Chosen from more than 750 entries, Libby took the top prize.
We’re also proud to celebrate Collinge & Co Training tutor Hannah Sullivan, Libby’s tutor at Collinge & Co Training, who also received a prize in recognition of her teaching, guidance and encouragement of students to build their confidence by entering such competitions. 

Denman CEO Kevin McNamee said: “The volume of incredible entries we received shows just how committed and creative our future hair professionals are. We are so grateful to all of the tutors that have encouraged their students to enter and are so impressed with the quality of entries we received. Blow-dry skills are one of the key skills to master and this competition shows that hairdressing students all over the UK are determined to do just that.”
