Within a mere 11 weeks into her course, Corrie-Jade discovered her niche in bridal hair styling and made the bold decision to establish her own business in this specialised field.
Juggling her responsibilities as a student, a full-time mother, and a budding entrepreneur, Corrie-Jade dedicated herself wholeheartedly to honing her craft and building her bridal hair business. Her hard work and talent soon garnered attention, leading to a steady stream of clients who were captivated by her skillful artistry and personalised service.

This recognition is a testament to her exceptional abilities and the significant impact she has made in the hairdressing industry in such a short span of time.

“Corrie-Jade is not just an excellent hairdressing student; she is specialised in the art of bridal. She has an eye for detail, transforming hair into stunning masterpieces. Each look is a testament to her skill and passion. She is sought after by bridal parties at wedding fayres, who are drawn to her ability to create their dreams into intricate and elegant updos.

As Corrie-Jade eagerly awaits the outcome of the Hair and Beauty Awards ceremony, her journey serves as a source of inspiration to aspiring students, mothers, and entrepreneurs alike, demonstrating that with determination, passion, and support, one can overcome any obstacle and achieve remarkable success.
“After setting up my bridal hair business 5 months ago, I have studied and worked harder than ever to perfect my skills and create the most beautiful bridal updos. I am still continuing to perfect my skills and grow my business, in doing so I took a leap and applied for the UKs official Hair and Beauty Awards Best New Talent category which I got accepted for.
I was so overwhelmed with happiness and pride when they shortlisted me as a finalist and it really helped me to realise how well I am doing, and that my work is being recognised.”
