Clynol protégé team 2012 announced
Following a rigorous judging process, that included X Factor-style grilling by a panel of industry judges, the Clynol's Protégé Team 2012 has been announced.
Clynol Protégé Team 2012: (clockwise from top left) Bec Armitage, Luisa Butera, Kerry Davies, Katie Watts, Orla Cronin and Charlotte Roberts
The six up-and-coming industry stars making up the team will be:
- Bec Armitage, Ethos Hairdressing, Chorlton
- Luisa Butera, Elizabeth & Giovanni, Kidderminster
- Kerry Davies, Ego Hair and Beauty, Colchester
- Katie Watts, Hoop Haircutters, Clacton-on-Sea
- Orla Cronin, Hoop Haircutters, Clacton-on-Sea
- Charlotte Roberts, VIP Hair, Penkridge
They were awarded their place on the team for consistently impressing across a variety of tasks, which include a pitch of why they felt they deserved their place on the team; a live audition in which they had an hour to cut and style a model and a three minute presentation.
Head judge Gemma Hensman, director of Hensmans Salons, said: "It is amazing that young people who have, for the most part, not been involved with presentation work on this level, and certainly not in front of industry specialists, have the maturity and self-belief to dig deep and really perform.
"We were so impressed with the self-assured way in which almost everyone presented their work, they really did themselves justice and there was so much potential."
