Northampton hairdresser launches ‘Star of the Shires’ competition to thank lockdown heroes with a luxurious prizes

A popular Northampton hairdressing business has launched a competition whereby an outstanding person who has put others first during the pandemic will win luxurious prizes such as haircuts and makeovers.

Daniel Granger Hairdressing in Abington Street has named the award ‘Star of the Shires’ as it aims to recognise and celebrate ‘selfless, extraordinary’ people who have put others first and have made a difference to people’s lives during the pandemic.

The winner will be awarded the ‘Just for You’ package, which includes a free, cut, colour and finish by Daniel Granger himself, a full makeover by Aimee Garner, or hair products to the same value, a meal for two at Nuovo and one year’s worth of hair appointments.

Ten runners-up will also be awarded prizes such as an Daniel Granger £100 gift voucher and a goody box.

Owner of the salon, Daniel Granger, said: “This competition is our way of celebrating the selfless heroes who have gone the extra mile and put others first over the last year.

“Small differences and acts of kindness can make an extraordinary difference.

“It could be a neighbour that has been delivering essential food packages to vulnerable residents, a friend or family member that has been a rock to others in their time of need, or a work colleague that has raised essential funds to support charities or local community groups.

“We want to give back to these ‘Stars of the Shires’ and treat them to a day of luxury and pampering devoted just to them.”

Anyone is invited to nominate who they believe deserves to win the prize.

Nominations can be made on the salon’s website and must be submitted by 5pm on March 19.

The winner will be announced on March 22.
