A CARDIGAN hairstylist is in the running for a prestigious national award.

Jay Bura of Oojufink, on the town’s High Street, and salon staff, will take part in the first ever Welsh Hairdressing Awards 2013, and an awards ceremony will be held in Cardiff on October 20.

The National Hairdressers Federation Welsh Area has organised this online nomination and voting event to recognise and reward the best hair professionals in Wales.

The event aims to raise the profile of hairdressing/barbering in Wales and to give consumers a chance to say who they think is the “Best in Wales”.
