Describing his career journey, Mr Millard Powers said: "I have been in the hair industry for 22 years and have a passion for hair.

"I began my career in a local salon in Herefordshire and began the creative journey of hair competitions almost immediately, which is an area I love and get to express my creativity.

"Once I had qualified, I moved to London and progressed my career further for eight years, where I got to refine my skills.

"I relocated back to Herefordshire and worked for a local salon group where I enjoyed heading an art team and participating in further competitions, fashion weeks and multiple photo shoots.

"Now I am welcoming clients to Flaunt in a new chapter."
