Hide AdJess, who lives in Boythorpe, was accompanied by a friend from Amsterdam to the glittering awards ceremony in a Birmingham hotel. She said: “There were more than a thousand people at the event and others watching at home. We had a three-course meal and there was a dance show. It was a wonderful evening.”
The 26-year-old mum opened her salon jpepssbeauty at The Clocktower in Hollingwood last year and specialises in braiding and cornrows. Jess said: “I'm focusing on growing the business a bit more.”
Prior to the launch of her salon, she built up her client base by working as a mobile stylist and renting a chair at a hairdressing business on Saltergate.
