The biggest award of the event, British Hairdresser of the Year, is by nomination only and widely regarded as the greatest accolade in the industry.
These five finalists are just one of six in their respective categories, after submitting four photographic images demonstrating their hairdressing expertise, both in terms of technical skill and creative ability.
They are now required to submit a further two images for the final round of judging, which takes place in October. Both stages of judging are independently audited and verified.
