Held at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House on Park Lane, London, on Monday 25th November, over 1,400 guests walked the red carpet to celebrate, with ten regional categories, eight specialist awards, and the ultimate accolade of the evening, British Hairdresser of the Year.

Hosted by Rylan Clarke, Hairdressers Journal International Executive Director Jayne Lewis-Orr, Schwarzkopf Professional General Manager UK and Ireland, Julian Crane and Hairdressers Journal International Editor Charlotte Grant-West and Deputy Editor Sian Jones, the evening saw the 1400-strong audience entertained and inspired with a variety of entertainment, as well as a celebration of the awards' 40th year anniversary.
