An Armagh hair salon picked up a prestigious gong at an London awards night on Tuesday night.

Petra’s House of Colour in Armagh City Centre were the recipients of the Regional (Northern Ireland) L’Oréal Colour Trophy 2017 Award.

Natasha Martin and Ciara Crossan were responsible for the colour and styling of model Rebecca Warnock’s hair.

The make-up was done by Michelle Diffin from Armagh.

The event took place in Battersea Evolution, and was “a very glamorous night out” for the girls at Petra’s.

Receptionist Ciara Conlon told Armagh I how they were delighted to get the recogintion.

“We entered the competition simply by submitting a photo for the selection process and it was then we were invited to Belfast for the Backstage Finals,” she explained.

“We were delighted to be shortlisted as one of four winners from Northern Ireland and to move forward to the Grand Final in London.

“Natasha and Ciara had to recreate the same look from Belfast but it was well worth it when we were announced as the Regional Winner for Northern Ireland; we were ecstatic.

“And we are absolutely delighted with our win and are very proud of the girls and the whole team.

“It’s amazing to be able to bring this trophy back to our wee town of Armagh. We want to thank all our clients and the general public who have been so supportive.”

Petra’s would like to offer one lucky winner a voucher for a wash, cut and blow dry, with a stylist of the winner’s choice (subject to availability), which will include a full colour consultation, where the stylist will be happy to advise on what colour would be best suited to the winner.
