Essensuals

 
Stylists from Essensuals in Bournemouth are holding their heads high having made it through to the Grand Final of the L’Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy. Ben Orchard, 23, and Becky Branson, 24, are now one step away from realising a lifelong career dream; to win the title of the world’s longest-running, most stylish hairdressing competition.
 

Ben and Becky explain the inspiration behind their striking image: “We wanted to create a strong bold look, with eye-catching hair colour placement. The chic clothes styling encapsulates the trend for femme fatales on the autumn/winter catwalks.”
 

 
For Ben and Becky it seemed like an eternity before the judges delivered their verdict. Upon hearing their name announced, the team leapt off their chairs in delight. “This is unbelievable. A dream,” remarked a delighted Ben moments after coming off stage. “This achievement puts us on the map. As a new salon, this experience will be incredibly beneficial, giving us the status we deserve after all hard work that has been invested to get us to the Grand Final.”
