Go behind the scenes of the British Hairdressing Awards, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional as we spotlight the craft, collaboration and creative vision that define the industry’s most respected talent.

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.

Hooker and Young

Created by Hooker and Young, both models featured a blonde buzzcut allowing the scale detailing to take centre stage.

Jordanna Cobella

Jordanna Cobella demonstrated a shoulder-length, layered hairstyle dyed a vivid purple, cut in a bob style with a sweeping side fringe.

Richard Ashforth 

Richard Ashforth created two heavily textured, spiky layers on top that were styled to stand up, adding volume and edge to the look.

Robert Eaton

Robert Eaton showcased a rounded, vibrant red bob cut with a blunt fringe.

Sally Brooks 

Sally Brooks showcased a tall, sharp, conical shape at the top of the head. The back and sides cascaded down loosely in contrast to the structured top. The color was a mix of light brown roots that faded into a prominent lime green, yellowish tint.
