Efi Davies
British Hairdresser of th year, Efi Davies created two looks of contrasts a sculptural, spiked updo, reminiscent of a refined, feathered mohawk. And an ultra-sleek, light blue, asymmetrical bob featuring sharp, blunt bangs. The result pairs bold, structured height with precision-cut simplicity.
Cos Sakkas
For Cos Sakkas, the left-hand look features black, textured hair sculpted into an upward, conical, mohawk-inspired shape, with the sides cropped or slicked tight to emphasise its bold, architectural height. The finish is spiky and firmly set for maximum impact. In contrast, the right model wears a short, tightly coiled blonde bob with dense, fluffy texture and a bright, matte blonde tone that delivers soft volume and character.
Errol Douglas MBE
For Errol Douglas MBE, the look centres on a short, sleek black bob finished with a sharp, blunt fringe for maximum precision. The colour is a rich, solid deep black, enhancing the clean lines and mirror-like shine of the overall finish.
