Sharon Malcolm has won Trend Image of the Year at HJ’s 2020 British Hairdressing Awards.

Sharon, from Sharon Malcolm Hairdressing in Newtownards, Northern Ireland, fought off strong competition and stood out from a star-studded line up of the UK’s best-known stylists to gain the top spot in this fiercely contended category.

Judged twice by a panel of hairdressing legends and British Hairdressing hall of Fame members, Sharon claimed her status as the best hairdresser in the Trend Image of the Year category after showcasing phenomenal original hair work which demonstrated not only technical skill, but a fantastic creative vision.

Delighted with the win, Sharon said: “I’m absolutely over the moon and so grateful to all that have supported me throughout my career. Thank you to my team, friends, family and the many mentors that have guided me to this point. What a way to end the year!”

Commenting on the win, Jayne Lewis-Orr said; “A huge congratulations to Sharon. This win is a phenomenal achievement, particularly after the difficulties faced by the industry this year. Sharon’s hair work demonstrated exceptional vision, skill and creativity, gaining her recognition as one of the best in the business.

HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards celebrate 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 at the Grosvenor House, A JW Marriott Hotel, and instead went live and virtual on Monday 30th November – giving an opportunity to celebrate the success and talent within the industry and share the prestige and excitement of the event to an even wider audience.

Finalists were each given ‘tickets’ for their very own virtual room where they could watch and celebrate with their teams, friends and family while the industry and clients could also show their support by tuning in to a live stream of the event which was hosted by television personality Rylan Clark-Neal on the Hairdressers Journal International Facebook page.

“The awards are a true celebration of our industry and it is an honour to join Hairdressers Journal International in recognising the very best of UK and International hair talent. I am delighted for Sharon who should be incredibly proud of her achievement.”

The British Hairdressing Awards have launched the careers of a host of household names from John Frieda and Nicky Clarke, to TV stylists Lisa Shepherd and Andrew Barton.
