The annual Headmasters Awards were held on 8 January at London Evolution in Battersea Park where 12 key awards were announced.
Split into creative and business categories, the evening was a true celebration of salon excellence with over 800 team members and industry icons in attendance.
Hosted by comedian Tom Allen, the night opened with a hair presentation by the Headmasters Creative Ambassadors and Artistic Team before guests were treated to a three-course meal.
Led by Creative Ambassador Clare Hansford, the hair show drew inspiration from the concept of dreams. Titled "Dreams May Not Be Real Life... But Dream Hair IS Life!", the presentation featured an array of avant-garde masterpieces, including oversized hair creations, sleek and sensual designs, and intricate, imaginative styles showcased on nine models.
