Harrogate creative stylist wins gold in national competition

22 September 2017

Rita Tuska, 32, has been awarded one of the highest hairdressing accolades in the UK and Ireland after winning UK Gold in the Creative Vision Category at the Wella Professionals TrendVision Award UK.

Rita, who works at Joseph Ferraro Hair competed against hundreds of hairdressers earlier in the year to secure her place in the national UK and Ireand finals, held at London’s Roundhouse this month.

She now goes on to represent the UK at the international TrendVision Award in London next month, as well as winning a place in a mentoring programme learning from some of the hair industry’s greatest talents, including Bruno Marc, Robert Eaton and Akin Konizi.

Rita, who has worked at Joseph Ferraro Hair in Harrogate for the past two years, said she was delighted with her success.

 

 

Rita said:

This has been a dream of mine for some time and I have worked extremely hard to win this award and I am delighted the judges believed in me and understood my vision. I couldn’t have done this without the support of Joseph Ferraro and the team at Joseph Ferraro Hair.

I’m looking forward to representing the UK at the International Final next month when I will be competing against hairdressers from 42 other countries.

 

Joseph Ferraro said:

Rita is a very talented stylist and we are all delighted with by her success at this latest competition. Everyone at Joseph Ferraro Hair is proud and will be fully supporting her as she goes forward to represent the UK in Wella’s international competition next month.

I am incredibly lucky to have such a fantastic team of talented hairdressers working across both Joseph Ferraro Hair salons in Harrogate

 

 

Sheila Jackson, Education and Event Director, Wella UK & Ireland, said:

One of the most prestigious in the hairdressing industry. It is a great way for new talent to shine through and we are confident we have discovered some true stars in the making. We wish the winners every success for the coming year.
