A Stretford beautician is "immensely proud" after being shortlisted for a prestigious prize.
Hayley Amanda-Jayne Shepley was announced as a finalist for the nail technician of the year in the UK Hair and Beauty Awards earlier this month.
The owner of Hayley AJ Shepley Nail Brow Artistry and Education has been in the industry since 2012 and has been recognised for her work previously, having reached the finals of the Scratch Stars competition last year.
She said: "I am honoured to continue my journey by reaching the finals for the UK Hair and Beauty Awards. Here’s hoping I win, but at this point, I already feel like a winner.
"I remain committed to doing what I love - providing professional nail treatments and teaching aspiring artists alike.
"It’s my passion, and I’m immensely proud of the recognition this opportunity gives me.
Hayley, who trained at a school in Manchester and recently launched her own training school, continued: "I have worked so hard to make it to where I am today. It’s really wonderful to see my efforts being rewarded.”
