In celebration of International Women's Day 2012, we've been asking fans of HJi on Facebook and Twitter which female hairdressers they admire the most.
According to HABIA, 90% of the hairdressing industry is made up of women, which means there are plenty of names to choose from - ranging from icons like Annie Humphreys and Ann Herman to newer names like Sacha Mascolo-Tarbuck and Lisa Shepherd.
Here are some of your favourites...
Blo Hair: Sally Brooks she is not only lovely person but a master at her craft !!! X
