A HAIRDRESSING salon in Frinton has sailed into the finals of a national competition.

Pearson Clark, on Connaught Avenue, was just one of four salons in the region to get through to the finals of the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Awards.

The team, led by Natasha Pearson, fought off strong competition and wowed a panel of high-profile judges with their autumn and winter fashion-inspired look.

Just 36 of the 1,000 entries will compete in the hair show final at the O2 in London in June.

The overall winners will win a once-in-a-lifetime prize package, including a three-day European trip and a fashion shoot with a leading glossy magazine.
