SHE earns a living making other people look their best.

But now Rebecca Ashcroft, pictured, of Renaissance Beauty, has earned her own place in the spotlight.

She won the title of Fake Bake Therapist of the Year in the English Hair and Beauty Awards 2014 held in Manchester.

Karen Maloney, owner of the salon in Claughton Street, St Helens, said: “She reached the finals because of the large number of clients who nominated her and then, from testimonials, mystery shops and research, she won the England title.

“We’re obviously very proud.”

The awards were sponsored by tanning company Fake Bake.
