AN EVESHAM hair stylist has proven to be a cut above after being announced as a finalist of a national hairdressing awards.
Let Lew of Let Lew Hair Design, Evesham has been shortlisted at this year’s HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards 2022, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional.
He has reached the finals within the Midlands Hairdresser of the Year category.
Now in their 38th year, the awards are an annual celebration of hairdressing excellence, recognising the remarkable achievements of stylists from across the United Kingdom.
Regional categories honour the finest hairdressing talent from across Britain with a separate category for International Collection of the Year, while seven specialist categories reward specific areas of hair expertise including afro, men’s, avant garde and colour.
Judged anonymously by more than 100 leading hairdressers including celebrity stylists, session stylists, salon owners, previous winners and Hall of Fame members, all winners will be announced at a black tie event on November 28 at Grosvenor House on London’s Park Lane.
Let submitted four photographic images each demonstrating the breadth of his hairdressing expertise, showcasing evidence of both technical skill and creative ability.
He will now submit a further four images for the final round of judging, which takes place in September. Both stages of judging are strictly and independently audited and verified.
“This is such a proud moment for me, these awards always bring together such exceptional talent and to see my name alongside my fellow finalists is mind-blowing,” Let said.
“I’d love to bring a trophy back and hope the judges will recognise the love and hard work that has gone into my collection.”
Jayne Lewis-Orr, executive director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards said: ‘Every year, HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards serve as a reminder of the passion, artistry and expertise that this incredible industry has to offer, and it is a privilege to celebrate the talent and brilliance of creative individuals from across the country.
“In reaching the finals, Let has demonstrated excellence in all areas of hairdressing, and an ability to bring together the magical elements which make a photographic collection stand out from the competition.’
