A renowned Belfast hairstylist has been honoured for his dedication and contribution to the industry at a prestigious all-Ireland award ceremony.
Paul Stafford, owner of Stafford Hair Salon in South Belfast, was given the 'Icon Award' for 2022 at the Irish Hair Federation (IHF) Awards last weekend. With a career spanning almost 40 years, Paul said he was "humbled" to pick up what he called the most rewarding accolade so far.
Speaking to Belfast Live, Paul explained that his career in hairdressing started with his interest in youth culture and style - but most importantly, their hair.
