KH Hair is celebrating after two of its Nottingham stylists were named as finalists at separate top UK hairdressing industry awards. 

Jessica Neil of KH Hair West Bridgford, has been shortlisted for the Eastern Hairdresser of the Year title at HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards, sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional. Widely regarded as the highlight of the hairdressing calendar, the annual awards – now in their 39th year – celebrate the outstanding creative and technical skills of stylists from across the United Kingdom. 

Jessica is one of just six finalists who impressed over 100 judges by demonstrating the breadth of her hairdressing expertise, including both technical and creative abilities. ‘I’m absolutely over the moon to have reached the finals of such a prestigious awards event,” says Jessica. I’m incredibly proud of my collection and hope the judges will see the passion and time that has gone into creating it.” 

18-year-old Amelia Krasinski, who works at KH Hair in Arnold, has finalised in the Colour Visionary category at the Wella Professionals TrendVision Awards UK & Ireland. The prestigious competition celebrates exceptional talent and has become one of the most iconic hair competitions in the hairdressing industry. Amelia says she was totally shocked when she found out. “I’m so excited about the whole experience and can’t wait to travel to London for the final. It’s a great opportunity to show off my skills.” she says. 

KH Hair Group managing director, Darren Messias, says he’s incredibly proud of the pair. “Jess is an incredibly talented hairdresser who works tirelessly to push herself and achieve her goals, which is why she has finalised in the competition several times and been fortunate enough to win it in 2018. As for Amelia, she is a real rising star within our company and we are so excited for her to have this experience.  All of us at KH Hair would like to wish all of them the very best of luck in the finals later in the year.”
