Glitz and glamour at the British Hairdressing Awards!

One of the biggest events of the hairdressing calendar took place last night at the Grosvenor House Hotel, a J W Marriott Hotel, on London's Park Lane ... the British Hairdressing Awards!

As always, the AJC team travelled down to the event, dubbed The Oscar's of the UK hairdressing industry, and tied in client meetings and a quick stop at Selfridges and Burger & Lobster on the way, before checking in at our hotel before the big event!

On arrival at this years awards, it was great to see all our southern friends and clients, and catch up.

The BHA's are a great event not only for a catch up, but for networking ... whilst enjoying some champagne! The welcome was fantastic, with a selfie wall full of headshots of all this years finalists aswell as BHA 17 in large letters ... very on trend.

This year, the awards were compared and presented by the nations favourite blonde, Cat Deeley with entertainment from the ever so fabulous BoyzLife, with the 1800 strong guests celebrating the best in the hairdressing industry.Schwarzkopf Professional then showcased their Ikonic Essential Looks Collection, which was a hit with the crowd and featured Rainbow Room Internationals very own Suzie McGill and Dylan Brittain.
