A SEDGLEY hairdresser has won a top industry award.

Tisch Townley, who specialises in bridal hair, won gold at the British Hair and Beauty Awards last month after her brides voted for her in the West Midlands Stylist of the Year award.

The 37-year-old, who picked up the bronze award at last year's ceremony, said: "Last year was the first time I entered and I was a little bit disheartened to get bronze but it has been amazing to win gold this time.

"I'd like to thank everyone who voted for me and would like to give a special mention to Blakelands Country House as they have me as the recommended stylist for their venue and have put in a good word for me."
