ANNE Veck, who runs salons in Oxford and Bicester, has been named Southern Hairdresser of the Year.

Following the British Hairdressing Awards ceremony on Monday in London, she said: “It’s been a long journey and I’ve been lucky to work with lots of people over the years, and I cannot believe it’s my name that’s been called!”

The ceremony at the Grosvenor House hotel was hosted by actor David Walliams.
