Seen as one of the most prestigious prizes in worldwide hairdressing, the shortlist was chosen by an international jury panel. The finalists across all the categories come from countries around the world and represent the very best in global hairdressing. This was the fifth consecutive nomination for the Mark Leeson team.

Commenting on the surprise award, Co-owner and Creative Director of Mark Leeson, Richard Darby said; “Our art team is the jewel in the crown at Mark Leeson. To see the team recognised on a global stage is such an honour. For two members of our team to go on and win in the Men’s category too is just unprecedented. What talent we have under one roof!”

Mark himself added, “What an incredible result! I’m so proud of the hard work and dedication our whole team shows on a daily basis. We think we’ve got the best team in the world at Mark Leeson. This award proves it!”
