Marc Antoni salon group has been shortlisted for three titles at HJ’s 2024 British Hairdressing Awards.

Daniel Spiller from the Fleet salon is nominated for Schwarzkopf Professional British Colour Technician of Year, Tom Metcalf from Henley is through in the Southern Hairdresser of the Year category and the Henley-on-Thames salon has also finalised for the coveted Artistic Team of the Year trophy.

2024 marks the 40^th anniversary of the Awards which honour the most exciting talents from across the UK and are the most coveted trophies in hairdressing. Recognising outstanding creative and technical skill, the event features ten regional categories, as well as nine specialist awards including Afro, Men’s and Avant Garde. The evening culminates with the announcement of the British Hairdresser of the Year, arguably the industry’s greatest accolade.

Judged anonymously by over 100 leading hairdressers (including celebrity stylists, session stylists, salon owners, previous winners and Hall of Fame members), winners are set to be announced at a red-carpet ceremony on Monday 25^th November at Grosvenor House, in London’s Park Lane.

‘Reaching the finals feels incredible – we’re over the moon!’ says Tom. ‘The standard of entries is always so impressive so it’s a real ‘pinch me’ moment to have made it this far. We love producing collections which show what we’re about as hairstylists and I hope the judges will recognise the passion and personality behind our work.’

Jayne Lewis-Orr, Executive Director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards said: ‘The past forty years have seen us celebrate the most exciting and creative individuals working within this fantastic industry. Four decades on, HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards continue to recognise excellence, passion and technical ability, and it is privilege to honour those who are exceling in their field. The Marc Antoni team have demonstrated a level of skill, expertise and precision that is to be admired and they should be applauded for this remarkable achievement.’

Schwarzkopf Professional has been the sole sponsor of the event since its launch. Julian Crane, General Manager for Henkel Beauty Care Professional UK & Ireland, says: ‘Schwarzkopf Professional is honoured to have supported this prestigious event for the past forty years and it is a privilege to reflect on the talent that has graced our stage and lifted a trophy. This year’s finalists are no exception, showcasing work which epitomises the qualities that make British hairdressing so revered. I am delighted to see their skill and expertise acknowledged and look forward to announcing the winners this November.’
