HAIR stylist Kelly Hodges is winging her way to Korea at the moment to take part in the Ladies Hairdressing 2001 Skills Olympics.

Kelly, who works at Cinderford's popular Cutting Edge hair and beauty salon, was talent spotted after winning the British Junior Championships in Blackpool last year.

She went on to compete in the skills sector at the national championships at the NEC in Birmingham where she was picked to represent her country in Korea.

Since then she has continued training with the British squad and is preparing for the World Hairdressing Championships in Las Vegas next July.
