AN EYELASH technician from Evesham is celebrating after being named a ‘lash stylist of the year’ in a national hair and beauty competition.
Leah Gisbourne finished ninth out of thousands of contestants in the 2021 UK Hair and Beauty Awards’ eyelashes category, which was judged by the likes of actress Jorgie Porter and television star Amy Childs.
Leah sent in photos of her work from her businesses Instagram page Bourne Beautiful to the competition.
After thousands of entries, judges then narrowed it down to the top 300 and then top 50.
Leah said: “It means a great deal as it shows my business is growing and has its own unique flare to be chosen.”
Leah started her business in 2018 after studying at Worcester College, and was able to go full time and leave her waitressing job in March 2019.
“Nearly three years on I’m still loving it and my Instagram has grown from 1,000 to nearly 4k followers and I’ve had 15 new clients this month,” she said.
