Round of applause everyone for all of these Wearside hair salon workers.
April 30 is National Hairstylist Appreciation Day and we are showing our thanks for Wearside’s best with a gallery of photos from the Sunderland Echo archives.
We have photo memories from 2003 to 2013, taking in award winners, and stylists who were chosen to pass on their skills nationally to a new generation of talent.
Have a look at views from Reds, Cabella, Janet Maitland, Aqua and VFM.
We also have scenes from Saks, Artworks, Toni & Guy and Hair@No4.
The day of celebration is aimed at paying tribute to the hairstylists who have done Sunderland proud over the years.
Tell us which nostalgia you would like to see in the Sunderland Echo next by emailing [email protected]
