The international awards are viewed as the most prestigious prize in worldwide hairdressing and the shortlist is chosen by an international jury panel.

Commenting on the pre-nomination success, Mark said: “Any kind of recognition from the hairdressing community is an honour, but to see our name up there alongside the greatest names from all around the world takes it to another level.

"We always enjoy putting the UK on the map but also knowing that we’re bringing world-class hairdressing home to our Mansfield and Chesterfield salons.”
