This afternoon Sam added a new hairdressing award to the HARE & BONE portfolio. He won Snapshot Image of the Year at the Fellowship for British Hairdressing Awards. Held in The Londoner Hotel, Sam was surrounded by industry peers, friends and colleagues as he was announced the 2024 winner!

Synopsis:
This collection explores the idea of bi-levels in the hair. To showcase the personality and individuality of each look and model, the hair has been created with a tiered structure in colour and shape. The combination of strong carved sections with soft details sets this collection alight.

As fashion week wrapped up, the HARE & BONE Art Team were invited to Chicago to present 10 looks at a global hair conference. Sam, Jamie and Amelia created ‘Harecore Happiness’, which was then showcased to over 25,000 people. Taking inspiration from the European club scene, the team produced a catwalk show during the three-day international hairdressing event, before flying back to celebrate our Esher salon’s fifth birthday.

“The team and I had an incredible experience delivering our latest collection ‘Harecore Happiness’ in Chicago. The concept of the show was inspired by the underground rave scene of the 90s and currently spreading across Europe. We looked to Berlin for inspiration and incorporated a slight goth tone to the collection. We opened the catwalk show with a feeling of oppression and conforming, staged to look like models queueing outside Berghain. The colours we used on the hair were deep and oily but then we pulled the wigs off on stage to showcase strong, textured 00s-inspired cuts The show was all about self-expression, and the colour work was inspired by lights and lasers of a club, representing that sense of release you feel when lost in music.”

The British Hairdressing Awards is the creative pinnacle of our industry and something we take very seriously. And with huge excitement I can announce that Andrew Plester, our Artistic Team member has finalised for Men’s Hairdresser of the Year 2022! To finalise, Andrew had to submit a photographic collection of four images that were judged by a group of iconic and highly respected talent from the hairdressing world. He is now one of six finalists that will submit another four images to be showcased as a collection of 8 in the second judging. We’ll need to wait until the end of November to find out if Andrew win’s but until then we’re going to celebrate Andrew and his success.

‘I am delighted to finalise for Men’s Hairdresser of the Year. From day one it has been a dream of mine and I can’t believe it has actually happened, I hope so much to bring the award home to HARE & BONE.’ Andrew Plester
