Rush hair awards 2013 winners announced
Taking place in Tiger Tiger in Piccadilly, the Rush Hair Awards were a chance for Rush employees to be recognised for their talents, as well as let their hair down in a lively party atmosphere.
Andrew Phouli welcomed staff to the event, saying "What we've done as a brand is unbelievable and I want to thank you for that."
Stell Andrew then gave advice to the crowd on how to be successful: go the extra mile and work more than you're paid to do, concentrate on your regular clients and make sure you set yourself goals.
After that the awards kicked off with major accolades going to Rush Windsor (Franchise Salon of the Year) and Rush Moorgate (Rush Salon of the Year), the latter presented by Oritsé Williams from boyband JLS.
An outstanding achievement award went to Tina Farey, who Stell described as "the best hairstylist this country has ever produced."
