After a week of back and forth voting with first place changing hands several times, the Western Downs’ favourite hairdresser has been revealed.
Taking home the 2024 crown with 14 per cent of the votes was Kira Smoothy from Chinchilla’s Sheer Perfection.
This is the second time Ms Smoothy has taken out the accolade being voted Chinchilla’s best hairdresser in 2020.
Second place was a three-way tie between Vanilla & Wood’s Jodie Allen, Dusty Blondes’ Tori Collins and Studio 249’s Monique Blanchard.
Ms Smoothy received a dozen comments of support with one commenter, Bec Wilson, saying Ms Smoothy provided a ‘great service, was “always happy to help” and she always left feeling “fresh, beautiful and new”.
Ms Smoothy started her hairdressing career in 2010 and said she hadn’t looked back since.
“In 2010 I did work experience at Tuxedos and from 2011 she put me on as an apprentice,” she said.
“I finished my apprenticeship with Tash when she owned Sheer Perfection and purchased the salon just over a year ago.
“It’s been amazing, I wouldn’t have been able to do it without Chantel the other senior hairdresser here, I decided to buy it when I was pregnant with my second child so she has kept it running for me and been very helpful.”
Ms Smoothy said she loved being a hairdresser and was honoured people had voted for her.
“I love meeting new people, always doing something different everyday, there’s not one haircut that’s the same, its creative and you always get to speak to someone,” she said.
“I wouldn’t say that I’m any better than any of the other hairdressers around here, this town is very lucky to have some really good hairdressers.
“I am local I’ve been here all my life,s o I don’t know maybe people recognise my name or like me as a person and that’s why they voted for me.
“It just feels really cool.”
