Queen Of Brows Takes National Award To East Cowes

A young entrepreneur from East Cowes has received a prestigious award at this year's Hair and Beauty Awards.

Kellie Conway of Kellie Brows, Beauty and Training, scooped the Henna Brow Specialist of the Year gong, having been one of 5,000 entrants from around the UK.

Kellie started her training at the Isle of Wight College, subsequently developing her skills over the last ten years and running her business over the past three-and-a-half.

Speaking shortly after learning she had won Henna Brow Specialist of the Year, Kellie said:

"I was so excited that I burst into tears — I can’t believe it really. I get a trophy and certificate shortly and will hold the title for the next year."

Kellie began her beauty industry journey after being badly bullied as a child at school, and is now passing her knowledge onto the next generation of beauticians, offering one-to-one sessions.

A spokesperson for the British Hair and Beauty Talent Awards added:

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank all finalists for their support through this difficult year.

"Massive congratulations and well done to our overall winner and our Gold, Silver and Bronze winners and finalists.”
