A HAIRDRESSING student from Blackburn College felt the pressure when the college’s chairman of governors booked an appointment.

Laura Sharples, 19, of Crosby Close, Darwen, was chosen to cut Sir Bill Taylor’s hair at the college’s Academy Hair and Beauty Studio.

She was selected for being one of the college’s ‘top hair stylists’.

Laura, who is in her final year at Blackburn College, performed a series of barbering techniques, while being supervised by her tutor.

And Sir Bill said; “Laura’s cutting skills and customer service were excellent, I would encourage the public to go along and try the service.”
