Stylists go the extra mile to show they have what it takes to be Britain’s Best

‘Amazing’, ‘inspiring’, ‘what a day!’ – this was just some of the feedback from stylists and salon owners who attended the NHBF’s flagship competition Britain’s Best Sunday 15 November.

 

Britain’s Best, now in its fourth year, is one of the highlights in the NHBF’s calendar, and this year’s competition was no exception – with teams from across the country battling it out to win in 14 hard-fought categories.

 

NHBF president Paul Curry said he was amazed at the quality of the work on display this year, and thanked all the winners, runners-up and supporters for making the day such a massive success.

 

“Britain’s Best has once again showcased the very best of British hairdressing, beauty and barbering talent.

 

“My congratulations go out to all this year’s winners. Everyone – winner or runner-up – was competing at the highest level, producing work of intense creativity and talent.

 

“I am immensely proud of what Britain’s Best says about the level of skill within our great industry – the passion and commitment shown by everyone to push themselves and be the very best they can.

 

“I also wish to thank this year’s sponsors, ITEC, SALONGENIUS and Coversure Insurance Services, for all their support and commitment they have shown to the NHBF and Britain’s Best.”
