A Chesterfield hair salon fought off tough competition to take home three top national awards.

Mark Leeson won three awards at HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards, securing the fiercely contended titles of ‘Eastern Hairdresser of the Year 2020’, ‘Men’s Hairdresser of the Year 2020’ and the salon group was awarded into the ‘British Hairdressing Hall of Fame’ in recognition of winning the title of ‘Best Artistic Team’ three times.

On top of this, the manager of one of the salons, Terri Kay, will next year make hairdressing history as she will also be inducted into the hall of fame for three previous wins in three categories.

HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards celebrates the people producing the very best hairdressing work across England, Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

For the first time in its 36-year history, the ‘Oscars’ of the hair world could not be held in person and instead went live and virtual on Monday, November 30, giving an opportunity to celebrate the success and talent within the industry.

The awards received by the Mark Leeson hair salon were three of 18 trophy wins on the night in a line-up of ten regional and eight specialist awards.

Jayne Lewis-Orr, executive director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards, said: “A huge congratulations to the winners from Mark Leeson, who should be incredibly proud.

"These wins are a phenomenal achievement and career highlight, particularly after the difficulties faced by the industry this year. Their hair work demonstrated unrivalled vision, skill and creativity.

“This year’s British Hairdressing Awards will certainly go down in history as one of the most challenging but rewarding events we’ve ever organised.

"The fighting spirit of the hair community shone through, despite not being together in person, and the reception from our virtual viewers was truly uplifting.

"I’m so pleased we had this opportunity to share the achievements of these truly outstanding stylists with all their supporters near and far.”
