This stylish monochrome collection was created by Akin Konizi to support his nomination for the 2009 HJ’s British Hairdresser of the Year title, which he currently holds having won it for the first time in 2008. This exceptionally strong collection was inspired by the hedonism of Studio 54 and the dangerous decadence of the mid-70’s and into the early 80’s, with a mixture of geometric cuts and anti-head shapes combined with soft curls with structure.

The waiting is over and the nominees for the 25th British Hairdressing Awards have been announced.

The most exciting event in the British hairdressing calendar, the British Hairdressing Awards – presented by Hairdressers Journal International and sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional rewards hairdressers who are pushing the boundaries of hairdressing, creating and setting the trends and excelling in this creative industry. In 2009, the British Hairdressing Awards will celebrate its 25th Anniversary. Recognising and rewarding the best of British hairdressing, the awards have grown over the past 25 years, and are affectionately known within the hairdressing industry as the ‘Oscars’ of hairdressing.
