“I’m truly honoured to be British Hairdresser of the Year 2014. I’ve dedicated my life to hairdressing and to be recognised by my peers as the best in the country is incredible. This has been a dream of mine since the day that I started hairdressing and I’m living proof that if you work hard and don’t give up, you can achieve anything.

“I’m so grateful to all the people who have supported me over the years and to my wonderful team – without them none of this would be possible,” said Mark.

This is the highest accolade within the hairdressing industry and only a handful of hairdressers have won this prestigious award.

Mark first had to be nominated by his peers and panel of leading beauty editors, and then produced a photographic collection of 8 images, which along with a portfolio was judged by an exclusive panel of industry legends.
