BRITISH HAIRDRESSING AWARDS 2006

This is the 22nd year that the British Hairdressing Awards will be held. Taking place in the Grosvenor House Hotel, London, hundreds of hairdressers who constantly push those boundaries and dedicate themselves to the industry will be rewarded.

Uniquely, the British Hairdressing Awards are based on photographic entries only that are to demonstrate the level of talent and style the entrant has. These photographs are then independently judged anonymously by a distinguished panel.

Any hairdresser from any salon is eligible to enter. Nominations are then based on the skill illustrated in the entries. The most prestigious award 'Hairdresser of the Year' will be able to enjoy tremendous media coverage as well as being recognised throughout the world appearing on television, radio and in the national press. Winners of all categories will gain coverage and be able to reap the benefits of becoming a proud owner of a British Hairdressing Award.

British Hairdressing Awards 2006 Finalists Announced

Hairdressers Journal International is delighted to announce the finalists for the nine regional and six specialist categories for the British Hairdressing Awards 2006.

In 1985, the British Hairdressing Awards - presented by the Hairdressers Journal International and sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional - were launched to reward hairdressers who were pushing the boundaries of hairdressing forward, creating and setting the trends and excelling in this competitive industry. Today, the British Hairdressing Awards are cited as the "Oscars' of the hairdressing world.

To enter the competition, hairdressers working in salons throughout the United Kingdom have to submit four images, which fulfil the criteria set. Depending on the hairdressers location, they can enter their regional category - Eastern, London, Midlands, North Eastern, North Western, Northern Ireland, Scotland, Southern or Wales & South West. If their talents lie within a particular discipline, they are also able to enter one of the six specialist categories - Afro Hairdresser of the Year, Artistic Team of the Year, Avant Garde Hairdresser of the Year, Men's Hairdresser of the Year, Newcomer of the Year or Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of the Year.

For the first round judging, a distinguished panel made up of members of the British Hairdressing Awards Hall of Fame (hairdressers who have won their region or specialist category three times) judge all entries independently, with all entries remaining anonymous, and all marks counted and compiled by an independent firm of auditors. From the first round judging, six finalists are selected in each category. They have to then produce a second set of images, which is added to the first set and judged in the second round. To judge the final six in each category, Hall of Fame members are joined by leading UK hairdressers and selected members of the press, and once again the judging process is independent and anonymous, with the marks collated by independent auditors.

In addition to the 15 regional and specialist categories, the most hotly contested award is for the British Hairdresser of the Year title. Entry to this award is by nomination only, and in 2006 there are six nominees for the title - Andrew Barton, Antoinette Beenders, Errol Douglas, Akin Konizi, Angelo Seminara and Richard Ward.

"Each year the standard of entries in all categories becomes more creative and inspirational," comments Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Hairdressers Journal International, Jayne Lewis-Orr. "British hairdressing is perceived throughout the world as being the best, and the British Hairdressing Awards recognise and reward creativity and excellence in all hairdressing skills."

The British Hairdressing Awards has significantly raised the profile of British hairdressing both in the UK and overseas. Winners of all the categories can enjoy the recognition from their peers along with an increased media profile in their local area and nationally.

The winners will be announced at the biggest event in the hairdressing industry's calendar, a glittering awards dinner presented by a well-known celebrity - the British Hairdressing Awards at the Grosvenor House Hotel, London on Monday 27th November 2006.
