A young hair stylist from Arnold has rounded off a fantastic year of achievement by being recognised at a top industry award ceremony.
20-year-old Amelia Krasinski, who works at KH Hair on High Street, was named Project Colour Achiever of the Year at the Fellowship for British Hairdressing’s Annual Luncheon and Awards Ceremony which was held in London on December 2.
Project Colour is the Fellowship’s dedicated colour programme which provides team members the chance to learn and grow through education and opportunities with the industry’s leading colour stars.
Amelia said she is so happy and can’t quite believe she won. “Being on the Project Colour Team has been the most amazing journey,” she says. “I’ve had the best year, and I’ve learned so much. I’ve had amazing experiences, meeting some talented and inspiring hairdressers along the way.”
Darren Messias, managing director of KH Hair, says everyone is delighted for Amelia. “She has worked so hard and displayed so much passion and commitment, that she truly deserves this accolade,” he says. “We are all so excited to see what happens in her career in the future.”
Amelia joined KH Hair as a 15-year-old Saturday employee before completing a three-year apprenticeship and 2024 has been a whirlwind of success.
After winning her place on the Project Colour Team in January, she was named 2024 ‘Rising Star’ at KH Hair Group’s annual award ceremony.
In September she was chosen to join KH Hair’s award-winning Creative Team and, soon after, discovered she had been chosen from hundreds of hopefuls across the UK to become one of only eight members of the Fellowship’s ClubStar Art Team 2025, following a live audition at ALFAPARF Milano in London.
“I’d like to say a massive thank you to salon director, Dawn and my fantastic team,” Amelia said.
“Thanks also to Darren and to everyone at head office for all their support throughout the whole year. It’s appreciated so much.”
