The Most Wanted and It List Grand Final may be the biggest and most exciting night in the Creative HEAD calendar, but the Winners’ Soiree is surely the most special – a chance for us to spend quality time with the UK’s most creative, innovative and forward-thinking hairdressers. And that’s official! The Most Wanted stars of 2014 – including Ruffians’ Andrew Cannon (Best Salon Experience), Laundry’s Mitchell Wilson (Best New Salon), Sam McKnight (Hair Icon and Session Stylist) Lisa Shepherd (Award for Innovation), and Petros Mairoudhiou (Hair Trend) – were joined by members of the 2014 It List – Ashleigh Hodges (The It Girl), Richard Phillipart (The It Guy), Joe Causier (The Entrepreneur), Olivia Butt-Freer (The Rising Star) and Jonathan De Franchesco (The Fashionista and The Visionary).
For this year’s trophy-holders, it was an opportunity to kick back with friends and colleagues over a laid-back supper in the cosy surrounds of The Apartment at the Hoxton Hotel, Shoreditch, and to discuss key industry issues in a fantastic Q&A session hosted by Creative HEAD editor Amanda Nottage.
