Mark Leeson (pictured), of award-winning salon Mark Leeson, Mansfield, has been shortlisted for Hairdresser Journal’s British Hairdresser of the Year title.

Mark, who was last nominated in 2017 and won the accolade in 2014, said: “I’m absolutely over the moon. To be nominated again means the world. My six fellow nominees are phenomenal ambassadors and represent British hairdressing on a global platform,  sharing education and inspirational creativity.”

British Hairdresser of the Year is the ultimate accolade for the industry and is the jewel in the crown of the awards, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional.

The winners will be announced on 28th November in London.
