The Bay of Plenty Regionals were one of the last to be held this year, and according to Bay of Plenty president Angela King, the event held on August 8 was a great success with many new faces through the doors. “We had a mini expo going on at the same time, with a coffee vendor and global cuisine on site,” she says. “Our compere was Brent from BOPfm, and he was fantastic. We also had a professional photographer site, which was an added bonus.”
The winners in the various sections came from a variety of salons, and the sections celebrated an array of skills.
