The Hair Colour Winners

After catwalk shows—themed ‘Rebel London’ and ‘Triptych’ (pictured), with styling services from renowned session stylist Peter Gray and the RUSH Artistic Team, respectively—it was on to the most important part of the evening: the prize-giving.

While these awards are big news within the industry, it's well worth getting acquainted with the list of winners. Having impressed a stellar line-up of judges including the likes of Malcolm Edwards, Jo Hansford and Charles Worthington, these prize winners are the cream of the hair colouring crop. After weeks of regional competitions where the entrants were whittled down to finalists, the winners were finally announced at last night’s glitzy awards ceremony.

The top winners of the night were: Westrow salon, Westpark in Leeds because the team created a stunning overall look that encapsulated the brief, demonstrating ‘hair inspired by fashion’. Georges Hairdressing in Leicester came second, while James Roberts Hair & Beauty scooped third place.
