A READING woman has been shortlisted for the UK Hair and Beauty awards for her work on hair extensions.
The awards celebrate the hair and beauty industry in an aim to support businesses both large and small.
And among this year’s crop is Vaida Dumbravaite, who also works for Broad St. Mall as a brand ambassador and security officer.
She said that since she was six, she has wanted to be a hairdresser, and is following her dream.
“Hairdressing has always been my biggest dream, I always wanted to share the power of confidence and make sure you leave my chair feeling like a Queen,” she said.
“I have been in the UK for 12 years now, all by myself, so I’ve needed to do other jobs too.”
But this hasn’t stopped her from carrying out the job she loves, and she is now looking forward to attending the grand final, which is a red carpet event.
Ms Dumbravaite is in the Hair Extensions Specialist of the Year category, but has to wait until April next year to find out if she is successful.
