Julie Sturgeon, owner of Naked Hair, congratulated Aisling on her success and wished her well for the grand final, which will take place on June 4.

“I couldn’t be more proud of Aisling winning this award. To have made it into the top four in Northern Ireland was fantastic, but to win overall is just incredible at such a young age,” she said.

“I believe that training and education is everything and all my team are trained to the highest standard.

“We also had two other members of the team make it to the regional finals and another, Emma Moffat, who won ID ARTIST last year.

“Now roll on London so we can show them what our wee village can do!”
