Hj british hairdressing awards - first-round judging complete

How do you get dozens of top hairdressers to descend on the leafy town of Epsom - ask them to be judges of the HJ British Hairdressing Awards!

It was a who's who of British hairdressing at the venue for the judging of the most prestigious awards in the industry and the atmosphere was church-like as judges gave their full attention to the entries displayed over two floors.

It's obvious from the silence and the intensity with which the judges studied the entries, that they were aware of the importance of the awards to every entrant.

Speaking to HJi after the judging, all members of the panel agreed that the HJ British Hairdressing Awards are instrumental to taking hairdressing forward, and that a win or even an appearance in the shortlist can rocket-launch a career.

Independent auditors were on hand to calculate the finalists who will go forward to the second round of judging.
