The North West Regional Stylist Awards was an annual hairdressing awards ceremony held in the North West of England.
The event was held at the Chariot Square Hotel in November 2018 where Audrey Roberts was nominated for a "Lifetime Achievement Award" by her friend and rival, Claudia Colby. Audrey took the nomination as an insult however, as she believed that everyone in the hairdressing industry knew that the award was reserved for people who were "past it". On the night of the ceremony, Audrey collected her award - drunk on wine. On stage, she made a heartfelt speech about Maria Connor, and insulted Claudia - before throwing a bouquet of flowers at her.
Maria herself nominated Kelly Neelan for the "Best Trainee Award" in March 2022. Kelly subsequently won at a ceremony hosted at the Chariot Square the following month. On stage, she gave an over-the-top speech thanking guardians Maria and Gary Windass for their support before "thanking" her parents, the late Rick and terminally ill Laura for continually letting her down.
