BERWICK hairdresser Courteney Davies is a cut above most.
The 18-year-old recently beat off a field of more than 100 hairdressing apprentices to be named runner-up for the Chisholm Hair and Beauty Outstanding Student Certificate III in Hairdressing award.
Ms Davies, a hairdresser at SB Hair and Beauty in Berwick, was judged on her cutting and colouring skills and for the way she consults with and treats clients.
Two hairdressing apprentices from Chisholm Institute of TAFE’s Frankston campus and two from the Dandenong campus were nominated for the award.
Ms Davies, of Mt Eliza, was named the first nominee at a recent awards night and said she was very pleased to be the runner-up.
The awards night also featured a catwalk presentation and Ms Davies styled one of the models.
She said she had always known that she wanted to be a hairdresser and was looking forward to completing her apprenticeship.
