TOP of the crops -- that's hair salon Headmasters in Waterfoot!

Owner Christine Moffatt entered a competition for 10 North West salons and was delighted when the organisers, Wella, picked her as the best.

They were checking on how the staff give advice and help customers with after care of their hair using System Professional product, shampoos, treatments and conditioners.

Christine and artistic director at the salon Nicky Chute are now going to enjoy a weekend stay in a five-star London Hotel and a night out at one of London's top nightclubs the Mezzo Bar.

It is the second award the salon has won. In March, Christine won a master colour award in another Wella competition.
