An Oxford hairdresser has won the chance to work with the top names in hairdressing in a national competition.

She will spend 12 months on a hairdressing course, working at Fashion Week events and Clothes Show Live. Miss East, of Wheatley, said: "I really enjoyed competing for a place on the Protege Team. Being chosen for the team has given me real encouragement."

The owners of Brothers Salon, Steve and Adam Buckland, said they were delighted at the news.
