In recent years, a number of high profile hairdressing talents have been recognised for the work they have done, but earlier awards include an MBE awarded to former managing director of Goldwell Ray Roberts in 1998, for services to the hairdressing industry.

The Benefits of Winning Hair Competitions

Imagine if you entered your first ever hairdressing competition and as a result found yourself swanning around Las Vegas watching Robert Cromeans in action and getting up close to John Paul Dejoria, founder and co-owner of Paul Mitchell Systems.
That's exactly what happened to Color Challenge winner Suzanne Kinane-Waltham.
The talented hairdresser from Killenaule in Pinchbeck had never thought to enter a hair competition before and had certainly never had any encouragement to do so; so she was skeptical when her Paul Mitchell rep advised her to enter the Color Challenge.
But that small push was all that she needed; and she set about creating a look that mixed the classic purdy with the on-trend pob for her photographic entry.

Many women who choose a smooth style for the office are looking for something a little bit different for a night out or a special occasion.
A look at the catwalk shows and the red carpet reveals celebrities are opting for something more classic and technical - and what celebrities want today, the girl on the street will want tomorrow.
