Putting together an award-winning artistic team entry

The HOB Salons Artistic Team will be entering the British Hairdressing Awards Hall of Fame in 2012 after winning the coveted title of Artistic Team of the Year an amazing three times.

Here, we speak to the current title-holders about their award-winning collection, and what it took to clinch the title for a third time.

Hairdressers

"This beautiful image is striking on so many levels, not least the shape of the style which elongates the shape of the head. The natural texture in the model's hair has been enhanced by the strong graduated outline and the vibrancy of the red strikes the balance between powerful but not over-powering"

Stylist

"I thoroughly enjoyed working on this bright, clean and sleek collection. I opted for simple and modern styling with a pure white palette to complement the striking and skilfully executed hair, to create a fabulous series of strong images."

Photographer

"This collection was extremely challenging to shoot as white on white brings so many technical difficulties, despite the fact it looks so simple. To build up the image you need amazing hair, perfect styling and striking make-up - and the HOB Salons team always deliver that! Without a doubt, one of my favourite images from HJ's 2011 British Hairdressing Awards."

PR

"This image is so striking and the statement colour enhances the texture in the cut. The classic composition of the model creates a beautiful, strong silhouette and with the simplicity of the clothes styling and make-up, the hair is left to do all the talking."
