The Fellowship Announces New One-of-a-Kind Stage Work Scholarship
Industry icon, Ann Herman is renowned for being the toughest critic when it came to artists performing on stage – having no problem when it came to letting hairdressing icons know how they could improve their stage presence and overall performance.
Ann spent decades producing and running the highest quality live events for the Fellowship for British Hairdressing, having been involved in the organisation for more than 40 years. To honour the hard work and dedication portrayed by Ann over the years, the Fellowship have announced the launch of their latest scholarship – the Ann Herman Scholarship.
The Ann Herman Scholarship will explore the art of mastering stage work, helping the recipient of the scholarship to become confident whilst working on stage, whether it’s in front of 5 or 500 people! The winner of the scholarship will learn key presenting skills and techniques from industry professionals, learning how to connect and captivate an audience, and most importantly, keep them engaged throughout the show.
This Scholarship is aimed at individuals who are looking to elevate their live performance skills to the next level.
Applications open on the 3rd of March 2025, and will close on the 14th of April 2025. Auditions will take place on the 22nd of June 2025, where candidates will be interviewed in front of a judging panel on stage at HAIRCON at the 02 Victoria Warehouse in Manchester.
The Ann Herman Scholarship will include the following education modules:

Commenting on the launch of the Scholarship, Ann Herman said: “I’m honoured to have a Fellowship scholarship named in my honour – this is truly special. For many years, I have had the privilege of being in a position to help young hairdressers carve their career and I enjoyed every minute of it. For my ‘legacy’ to live on through this scholarship means the world. Thank you Fellowship for the opportunities that it has given me.”
