HAIR CARE HERO Hair and make-up specialist, Zoe Lloyd has reached the West Midlands Wedding Industry Awards Regional Finals in both 2020 and 2021. Zoe tells us: “Styling my brides on their wedding day is one of my favourite things to do. When I opened the emails, I was blown away. As a small business, I didn’t expect to make the cut never mind the regional finals! To date, this is my proudest and highest achievement in my career. Although I didn’t win my category for bridal hair, I’m still so grateful to have gotten as far as I did and to have been recognised by an awarding body in the industry. I have met some fantastic people along the way and look forward to what the 2022 awards have in store.” Check out www.zoelloydhairspecialist.co.uk fo r more information. YOUR ESSENTIALS 9
