Since studying at Brock’s dedicated learning facility for beauty, Ultima, which is in New Milton, Charlotte has gained eight years’ experience in the highly profitable business sector.
Last year she chose to become a self-employed nail technician, having specialised in nails for the last three years.
The up-and-coming businesswoman has not looked back since, saying the decision to go self-employed was the ‘best ever’.
Charlotte told Hampshire Chronicle: “Becoming a finalist with the UK’s most famous industry awards really is a dream come true, and to be able to say I have achieved that within my first year of being self-employed is such an achievement.”
Charlotte will find out whether she has won the industry accolade during a big-budget awards ceremony in Birmingham, which will take place on 30 August.
