After having begun his career in a local salon in Herefordshire, Mr Millard-Power now has over 22 years of experience behind him, along with several prestigious accolades.
Previously talking about his return to the county, Mr Millard-Power said:
"I began my career in a local salon in Herefordshire and began the creative journey of hair competitions almost immediately, which is an area I love and get to express my creativity.
"Once I had qualified, I moved to London and progressed my career further for eight years, where I got to refine my skills.
"I relocated back to Herefordshire and worked for a local salon group where I enjoyed heading an art team and participating in further competitions, fashion weeks and multiple photo shoots."
