The finalists of HJ's British Hairdressing Awards 2012, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional, have been chosen after an intense day of judging at Epsom Downs racecourse.
Each of the entries in the nine regional and six specialist categories were anonymously judged by a selection of the industry's leading lights, including Hall of Fame members and past and present winners of the British Hairdresser of the Year accolade.
The finalists will now submit a further four images which will go forward to the second round judging, and the winners will be announced at the British Hairdressing Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel in London on 26 November.
