Looking Back at Previous Winners
Last year's title of Best Hairdresser was awarded to Haircut One Hundred in Foxwood, and owner Ann Taylor expressed her gratitude, saying, “I can’t believe it, it’s amazing... We've got a fantastic team and wonderful clients, I feel very fortunate.” Her words resonate with the joy and pride that such recognition brings to local businesses.
As this year's competition unfolds, there is much anticipation to see which salon will take home the coveted title, further inspiring the talent and creativity that thrives in York's hairdressing industry.
