Uddingston hairdresser nominated for Scottish title
Diana Carson of Rainbow Room International is in the running at the prestigious British hairdressing awards ceremony in November An Uddingston hairdresser is celebrating after being named as a finalist at the prestigious British hairdressing awards. Diana Carson, creative director of Rainbow Room on Main Street, has been nominated in the Scottish hairdresser of the year category for November's glittering industry ceremony in London. She earned the accolade after impressing experts at the first round of judging, and says it is 'such an honour' to be nominated for the national title; while the company's international artistic team of which she is a key member has also earned a nomination at the awards. Diana stood out from competitors from across the country in the first round of judging at Epsom Downs racecourse, where an expert panel reviewed hundreds of collections with a high standard of entries submitted. The talented hairdresser impressed with her 'exceptional creativity, technical skill and artistic flair' – and will now submit a further four images of her work for a second round of judging in September, when the winners will be decided before being crowned later in the year at the awards ceremony. She said: 'It's such an honour to be named a finalist at the British hairdressing awards and I couldn't be prouder to represent Scotland. 'This recognition means the world to me and I'm constantly striving to push boundaries, stay inspired, and bring something fresh to our clients and the wider industry. To have my work recognised on this scale is incredibly rewarding, and we can't wait for the awards night!' Senior stylist Diana began her career with Rainbow Room International at a young age, training with the group and progressing up the ranks to her current creative director role; as well as holding a senior position in the firm's award-nominated artistic team which focuses on creative hair design and styling. Her work such as the 'intention collection' are described as emphasising 'authenticity and raw texture [and] showcasing her signature cutting techniques'; and she has twice been nominated for the Scottish hairdresser of the year awards and travels the world sharing her high-demand work at shows and seminars. She also recently joined colleagues in running the popular backstage salon at the TRNSMT festival in Glasgow, styling star performers and their teams ahead of taking to the stage for their sets. Rainbow Room say: 'Diana is one of the busiest senior stylists in the group and holds a top-level position in the art team; her knowledge and expertise now see her teaching and coaching in both the salon and the Rainbow Room International academy. 'As a qualified educator, Diana plays a pivotal role in mentoring emerging talent at both the academy and within the salon environment.' The annual British hairdressing awards are described as 'one of the most respected and celebrated events in the global calendar' and are run by Hairdressers Journal International. Executive director Jayne Lewis-Orr said: 'Every year, we're blown away by the level of talent on display. These artists set the standard and inspire thousands — their vision helps shape the future of hairdressing, both in the UK and around the world.' * Don't miss the latest headlines from around Lanarkshire.

The Room is available to caseworkers 24 hours a day, 7 days a week for any of our clients. Prior to the establishment of Fort Bend Rainbow Room, local caseworkers frequently used their own funds to meet these needs, while waiting for permanent funding solutions. Many of these expenditures were not reimbursable; nevertheless, most caseworkers could not refuse to clothe or feed hungry children that had just been rescued from abusive and/or neglectful homes. Rainbow Room is able to meet these immediate needs with support from the community. For more information, please visit our website at Category: Kinetic

What really happened between Zach Wilson and Nicolette at Citi Field? Mom shares intimate details of his DM-fueled love story
Zach Wilson's mother reveals unexpected twist about QB's romance origin with Nicolette Dellanno (Credit: Brian Delia Photography) Zach Wilson's journey from NFL stardom to marital bliss has unfolded like a romantic comedy — one that began unexpectedly at a baseball game and culminated in a fairytale wedding at one of New York City's most iconic venues. Over the weekend, the Miami Dolphins quarterback tied the knot with longtime girlfriend Nicolette Dellanno in a glamorous ceremony at St. Patrick's Cathedral, followed by a glittering reception at the Rainbow Room. Did Zach Wilson's love story really begin at a baseball stadium before sliding into her DMs? The origin of their relationship has now been revealed by none other than Wilson's mom, Lisa, who took to Instagram Stories to share the behind-the-scenes details. 'How did they meet?' she posted, adding a clip of her new daughter-in-law dancing at the reception. 'Zach took his friends from home to a Mets game. Their eyes met. Zach['s] friend recognized [Dellanno] from of all things TikTok. Zach DM'd her, the rest is history. ' Indeed, what started as a chance encounter at Citi Field eventually led to an Italian engagement, and now, a wedding filled with love, laughter, and NFL cameos. Dellanno, who hails from New Jersey, dazzled in a custom Pnina Tornai gown from Kleinfeld Bridal, while Wilson looked sharp in a classic tuxedo and bow tie by The Black Tux. The former BYU quarterback was seen visibly emotional as his bride walked down the aisle, a moment that resonated with fans on social media. The couple first sparked dating rumors in 2022 and have since been spotted together during key milestones in Wilson's football career — including his brief stint with the Denver Broncos last season. Though he didn't take the field in Denver, Wilson's teammates and their partners were among those present at Saturday's celebration, adding an NFL flair to the festivities. 'Obsessed with my new MIL,' Dellanno captioned a repost of Lisa's story, clearly embracing her bond with the Wilson family. Wilson, now 25, recently signed a one-year, $6 million contract with the Miami Dolphins, stepping into the role of backup quarterback behind Tua Tagovailoa for the 2025 season. While his on-field future remains a work in progress, it's clear that off the field, he's scored big. The couple's love story — from a ballpark glance to a grand cathedral wedding — reflects a mix of modern charm and timeless romance. And if Wilson's NFL comeback echoes the personal joy he's found in marriage, fans may be in for a new and exciting chapter of his life.

Wilson spent his 2024 NFL season as a backup for the Denver Broncos, but did not see the field Wilson and Dellanno traveled to Hawaii for their friends' wedding earlier this year The team replaced him with Aaron Rodgers after two difficult seasons at the helm, but Wilson was thrust into action once again during the 2023 season after Rodgers injured his Achilles in his debut for the team. Wilson was traded to the Broncos the following year, and he did not see the field in Denver as he served as the third-string quarterback behind Bo Nix and Stidham. Wilson then signed a one-year, $6million deal with Miami that could rise to $10million with incentives, according to multiple reports. He is expected to back up Tua Tagovailoa on the Dolphins.
