Freddie's is a cut above when it comes to winning awards.

The salon, in Bank Street, Rawtenstall, owned by Freddie Cunliffe, has won the Creative Northern Team of the Year title in a national competition.

Stylists (from left) Jade Lyons, Matthew Threlfall, and Danielle Sidley, helped by make-up artist Anna Fergus and choreographer Gilly Pollit, competed against 16 teams from the Midlands to Scotland.

They had to cut and colour looks for the autumn/winter season on four models who were shown off on a catwalk in Manchester.
