On Monday 24th November it was the biggest event of the year for the hair industry, The British Hairdressing Awards 2014! The evening started with a trip down memory lane with a beautiful retrospective film that highlighted the achievements from the past 30 years. While HJ’s executive director Jayne Lewis-Orr welcomed everyone to the Great Room, host for the night comedian and TV personality James Corden wowed the crowd with his insider jokes and impressions of the industry.

I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate my winning clients; Nick Malenko and Sophie Beattie, of Royston Blythe, Wolverhampton who were crowned Midlands Hairdresser of the Year; Bruno Marc Giamattei of Marc Antoni who entered the Hall Of Fame by winning Southern Hairdresser of the Year; Martin Crean from Mode, Gloucestershire, who took the title of Wales & South West Hairdresser of the Year; Angelo Vallillo, director of Zullo & Holland, Nottingham who achieved Eastern Hairdresser of the Year for the 2nd year running, and finally, the Marc Antoni Artistic Team of Henley-on-Thames, Berkshire who stole the accolade Artistic Team of the Year!

Well done to all of you, and it was a pleasure working with such talent this year!
