Lovers of hair, makeup and fashion have a gala afternoon in Whanganui on Sunday.
It's the 2017 Whanganui Hairdresser of the Year awards. They take place in the St Johns Club in Glasgow St and are open to the public. The door price is $10 for everyone over 11.
The New Zealand Association of Registered Hairdressers runs the awards once a year, organiser Carol Hayward said. All the competing hairdressers work in salons registered with the association.
"It's a real showcase for the talent here in our region. It gives hairdressers the opportunity to express their creativity - day to day we don't get that," she said.
Every second year a team of winners goes forward to nationals. This year they will be held in Waikato and the best cutters, stylists and barbers will go.
