Black Beauty Awards 2011

Black Hair and Beauty came really fast this year, it seemed not long ago that I was getting ready for the last one! As usual it was a special night, because the salon got through to 3 finals! My lovely Vicki won her very first award as colourist and I am so proud of her. I was a little disappointed that I didn’t get an award myself but it really didn’t put a damper on the night for me and the team and even put a little fire in my belly. I got to to see the fellow hair blogger Tola too which was great as I haven’t seen her in ages, my mama came along this year and it was really nice to share the experience with someone thats not in the hair business and still supports it, she looked so cute and really enjoyed herself. I really believe that competitions are also a way of keeping you on your toes and you get to see what else is out there, rather than being stuck in your own bubble. So much happened between this year and last year, I am intrigued to see what 2012 will be about and maybe start to take it in a little too, I feel like I am not truly appreciating all these small but brilliant things that are taking place around me…. until next time xx
