The 80-strong group celebrated and the feeling of one big family was evident as every winner recieved raptuous applause. Bruno, current HJ Southern Hairdresser of the Year, was emotional as he talked about his journey, and spoke about the importance of winning the award. It was a great night and every one of them should be proud of their acheivements. Ruth@HJix
