At the 2024/2025 British Hairdressing Awards—often described as “the Oscars of the hairdressing industry”—we proudly took home three incredible titles:
Artistic Team of the Year
London Hairdresser of the Year
Trend Image of the Year
But what do these awards mean for you, our clients?
In the words of our CEO, Tash:
“These awards celebrate the artistry behind what we do—but they also shine a light on the care and dedication we bring to every client. The service you receive in any of our salons is a result of our creative team working tirelessly to educate and pass down knowledge of the latest trends and techniques to our salon teams. It means you’re getting the best haircut, the best colour, and the best experience—every single time.”
At HOB, we invest heavily in education because we know that when you leave feeling amazing, you’ll want to come back again and again. Our commitment to learning ensures that no matter which HOB salons you visit, you’re receiving the very best service.
Our Creative Director, Akin Konizi, who leads our award-winning creative team, shares deeper insight into why these accolades matter:
“These awards on our windows represent the time, dedication, and hard work that goes on behind the scenes at HOB. When you see titles like London Hairdresser of the Year or Artistic Team of the Year, they’re a reflection of our commitment to excellence.”
Akin explains that these awards are more than just decorative titles—they reflect the hard work, creativity, and high standards that go into every appointment at HOB Salons. The British Hairdressing Awards honour the very best in the industry, celebrating exceptional talent and creativity, and recognising the years of dedication it takes to achieve these prestigious awards.
But the real focus? You.
“We don’t invest in these awards for ego or show—it’s about making sure that every client leaves loving their hair and comes back six weeks later and loves it again and again. That takes the right kind of hairdresser, someone who’s trained rigorously and understands the importance of delivering top-quality results every single time.”
Akin also highlights HOB’s dedication to education and growth:
“We invest in our young talent, training them 2-3 days a week so they can become the stylists of the future. When you sit in one of our chairs, you’re not just getting a haircut—you’re benefiting from decades of education and experience.”
What This Means for You...
Every time you visit any HOB salons, you’re not just getting a haircut or colour—you’re experiencing the result of 42 years of dedication to the craft of hairdressing.
Our team is continuously learning, teaching, and pushing boundaries to stay ahead of the game. And as Akin puts it: “We’re not here to get you to come in once. We’re here to keep you coming back, loving your hair, and feeling amazing every single time.”
So, when you see those awards in the window, know that they represent more than just titles—they’re a promise of quality, creativity, and a commitment to making every visit special.
We’re proud of our journey, grateful for your trust, and excited to continue creating beautiful hair for another 42 years and beyond.
