An Evesham hair stylist is in the running for a top award.

Let Lew of Let Lew Hair Design has been shortlisted for Midlands Hairdresser of the Year at HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards 2022.

Ley submitted four photos demonstrating his work which have seen him make it through to the final round of judging, which will take place in September and require him to submit a further four images.

“This is such a proud moment for me,” said Let.

“These awards always bring together such exceptional talent and to see my name alongside my fellow finalists is mind-blowing.

“I’d love to bring a trophy back and hope the judges will recognise the love and hard work that has gone into my collection.”

Now in their 38th year, the awards aim to celebrate the achievements of stylists from across the United Kingdom.

The most anticipated award of the evening – British Hairdresser of the Year – is by nomination only and is regarded by many as the industry’s greatest accolade.

Judged anonymously by over 100 leading hairdressers, all winners will be announced at a black tie event on Monday, November 29, at Grosvenor House on London’s Park Lane.

Jayne Lewis-Orr, executive director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards said: “Every year, HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards serve as a reminder of the passion, artistry and expertise that this incredible industry has to offer, and it is a privilege to celebrate the talent and brilliance of creative individuals from across the country.

“In reaching the finals, Let has demonstrated excellence in all areas of hairdressing, and an ability to bring together the magical elements that make a photographic collection stand out from the competition.”
