HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards have been a highlight of the industry’s calendar for the past 24 years. Held on Monday 4th July at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, the awards recognise the most successful salon businesses that have helped make the British hairdressing industry the most respected in the world. From standout salons and exemplary teamwork to groundbreaking innovations and trailblazing individuals, HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards are an annual celebration of business brilliance.
Entering this category requires the submission of a detailed dossier, outlining the key features that make the salon’s design so successful, including insight on budget and challenges faced, as well as how the finished design was promoted. Entries are then judged by a panel made up of category sponsors and industry experts.

It’s important that our industry is seen for its incredible business opportunities, to inspire the next generation of people leaving school and wanting to pick the right career.’

In Electric Space, Mark has created a salon that feels luxurious yet unintimidating, with consideration to every aspect of the client journey and he should be incredibly proud of all he has achieved.
