Beautician Jessica Overall received an award from actress Joanna Lumley when she won South East Regional Therapist of the Year.
The title means she beat therapists from six counties – Essex, Suffolk, Norfolk, Kent, Surrey and Sussex.
Jessica received her award at a gala dinner at The Brewery EC1, hosted by Joanna Lumley.
Not only that but the judges said, if Jessica, had not won, the prize would have gone to her colleague Holly Bridges who works at the same salon, Scarlett and Stone in Dunmow.
Jessica was one of 10 finalists picked for the national heat at awards run by French cosmetics manufacturer Guinot.
