Staff and students at Accrington and Rossendale College were left star struck after a visit from a celebrity hairdresser.

Former Men’s British Hairdresser of the Year winner and celebrity hairdresser Lee Stafford attended the college as a special guest to deliver a hairdressing masterclass.

Staff and students were delighted when Lee Stafford took time out his busy schedule to do a hairdressing masterclass, where he gave a live demonstration on different hairdressing styles.

Katie Procter, head of faculty for Creative, Care and Business, said it was a “great coup” for the college to have such a talented and respected hairdresser as Lee visit.

She added: “The masterclass was amazing and I was extremely impressed the way our students interacted with the demonstration.

“This masterclass has not only inspired our students, but has also helped them towards their studies.

“On behalf of all the students, we want to say thanks to Lee.”

Lee said: “The positivity of the Hair and Beauty Department was evident from the off, and the facilities are great.”
