Emma Dixon

Emma is based in the West Midlands and has been hairdressing for 16 years. Her commitment to constantly improving her skills means that she is always in search of new learning experiences. Emma says “I chose to enter the Denman Stage Star competition because I love Denman brush! We go way back. My mum used the brushes when we were kids. I learnt to do my hair, my sisters and my little pony’s hair with a Denman. I love the products and the bonus of working with such masters of our craft is an opportunity not to be missed. Denman is well established, ethical and innovative. I am keen to grow my styling skills, share them with others and to create my own collection is something I am excited to do. To have support and encouragement from Denman will just be a dream come true!”

Tia says “I am ready to take that next step in my career. I’ve grown up with Denman even before I even thought about hairdressing as a career. So to work with them would be amazing. I know it would be a great chance to up my skills and creativity. I’m excited and nervous to be on stage and show people my skills. To be able to say I’m a finalist in such an amazing competition as Denman Stage Star is amazing!
