Good Salon Guide marks 25 years with honour

Good Salon Guide, in Willis Road, Portsmouth, held a competition to find the nation's best stylist as just one of several initiatives to mark the occasion.

After weeks of public voting, Kelly Shone-Adams from Neath in Wales was named the Nation's Favourite Hairdresser. Kelly, who runs Technocracy Hair, came out top after 5,000 votes were cast. 

Kelly, 41, said: '˜It is the biggest accolade I could ever have hoped for.' 

She was presented with a trophy by Gareth Penn, managing director of Good Salon Guide. 

He said: '˜It's clear that Kelly is incredibly popular.' 

Good Salon Guide was founded by Gareth's father, Dawson Penn in 1993.
