Last Sunday was an important highlight for hairdressers all over Ireland as the National Hairdressing Championships took place in Dublin. Over 260 stylists created an estimated 300 looks ranging from the basic "cut and colour" category to the imaginative "creative fantasy". Skerries woman Sarah Mason won the overall title of Irish Hairdresser of the Year as decided by the  Irish Hairdressers Federation. Originally from the capital, Sarah is now working in Renaissance, a salon in Galway city. Catch a glimpse of her winning Rainbow collection below.
