And the winners are...

Hosted by comedian David Walliams, alongside Hairdressers Journal International’s Executive Director, Jayne Lewis-Orr and Stuart Hamid, Schwarzkopf Professional's General Manager, the British Hairdressing Awards were held in the beloved Grosvenor House hotel, London. We were there, amongst a 1,700-strong turnout, to find out who took home the trophies on the night. 


In between Walliams’ slightly corny jokes, the night was a wonderful opportunity to get up close and personal with some of the country’s most talented hairstylists and colourists. Guests were treated to a three-course meal – plus some decadent chocolates and the cutest table gifts featuring trial size versions of Schwarzkopf’s BC Fibre Force range. Once many of the regional winners had been announced, the youngest X Factor winner ever, Louisa Johnson, provided entertainment, singing three songs that got the entire ballroom on its feet. 


On the night, Jayne Lewis-Orr said: “A British Hairdressing Award is the ultimate accolade in hairdressing and we couldn’t be more proud to present them to our winners today. The award demonstrates not only unabashed creativity and supreme technical skill, but also marks you out as one of the greatest hairdressers in the country.”
