SWINDON COLLEGE AWARDS: LISA Thomson (above) won the award for Therapist of the Year.
An expert in epilation, which is a method of hair removal using needles, Lisa recently reached the finals of a national epilation competition.
She is studying for a diploma in holistic therapy but she is a qualified beautician after completing her NVQ stage two and three at the college last year.
The 18-year-old, who lives in Queen's Drive, said: "I would like to run my own salon in a few years time.
"I work part-time at the salon at Fitness First so that is helping me get experience."
