Marc Antoni salon group has been shortlisted for three prestigious awards at HJ's British Hairdressing Awards 2024.

Henley-on-Thames-based stylist, Tom Metcalf, and colour technician, Daniel Spiller, from the Fleet outlet, are amongst the hopefuls.

Awards night is set for November 25 with this year marking the event's 40th anniversary.

Known for honouring the UK's most innovative hairdressing talents, it is esteemed as the industry's top honour.

The event, staged at the grand Grosvenor House in London's Park Lane, celebrates ten regional and nine specialist categories.

Spiller and Metcalf are both in line for individual gongs - the British Colour Technician of Year and Southern Hairdresser of the Year respectively.

Furthermore, the Henley-on-Thames salon has made it to the final phase for the highly sought-after Artistic Team of the Year title.

Judging involves over 100 hairstyling experts, including celebrity and session stylists, salon proprietors, past winners, and Hall of Fame members.

Each candidate made their pitch with a submission of four unique hair work photos, examined independently in a fair and audited process.

The final deliberation stage in October requests another four images from the finalists, forming a collection of eight.

Mr Metcalf said: "Reaching the finals feels incredible – we’re over the moon! The standard of entries is always so impressive so it’s a real ‘pinch me’ moment to have made it this far. We love producing collections which show what we’re about as hairstylists and I hope the judges will recognise the passion and personality behind our work."

Jayne Lewis-Orr, executive director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards said: "The past 40 years have seen us celebrate the most exciting and creative individuals working within this fantastic industry.

"Four decades on, HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards continue to recognise excellence, passion and technical ability, and it is privilege to honour those who are exceling in their field.

"The Marc Antoni team has demonstrated a level of skill, expertise and precision that is to be admired and they should be applauded for this remarkable achievement."
