Young hairdresser of the year finalists photos
Twenty very talented young hairdressers - all under the age of 30 - have been selected as the finalists of the Clothes Show Live Young Hairdresser of the Year Competition, presented by Hairdressers Journal Interactive and supported by Your Hair Magazine.
Judges Lisa Shepherd of Lisa Shepherd Salons, international creative director for Saks Andrew Barton, and Charles & Karen Dodds, creative directors for Cutting Room Creative, along with Jayne Lewis of HJ and Michelle Tiernan of Your Hair, had the tough task of whittling down hundreds of entries to select the 20 finalists.
Speaking about the unprecedentedly high standard of entries, Charles Dodds says: "Karen and I were blown away by the fantastic standard of entries for this great competition aimed at young stylists.
"It is great to see the improvement of hair photographic work coming through from such great young hairdressers. We are very much looking forward to judging the live final."
The 20 young hairdressers will now progress to the live final at the Clothes Show Live, on December 7, where they will be tasked with re-creating their image live on stage.
