Suzie McGill, artistic director at Rainbow Room International and director of RRI Uddingston, Diana Carson, Rainbow Room International Uddingston salon director, and the Rainbow Room International Artistic Team are celebrating the prestigious honour.
A styling and profiling Uddingston salon group have been announced as finalists in three British Hairdressing Awards categories.
Suzie McGill, artistic director at Rainbow Room International and director of RRI Uddingston, Diana Carson, Rainbow Room International Uddingston salon director, and the Rainbow Room International Artistic Team are celebrating the prestigious industry honour.
Diana has been named as a finalist for the Scottish Hairdresser of the Year category, Suzie is a finalist for the Schwarzkopf Professional Colour Technician of the Year category, and the Rainbow Room International Artistic Team, led by Suzie, has been named as a finalist for the Artistic Team of the Year category.
To be one of six finalists in each of these categories is a huge achievement, having stood out and been selected from an exceptionally competitive field of entries.
Widely regarded as one of the most influential events in the professional hairdressing calendar, the British Hairdressing Awards celebrate the individuals and teams shaping the future of the industry.
From innovative salon professionals and colour specialists to creative pioneers, the awards continue to recognise the talent, passion and dedication that keep British hairdressing at the forefront of the global stage.
To enter the awards, Suzie, Diana, and the Rainbow Room International Artistic Team had to submit a portfolio of four professional photographic images into each of the categories, showcasing their hairdressing skills and creativity.
An esteemed panel of industry experts then reviewed hundreds of entries across 18 Regional, International and Specialist categories throughout the UK and Northern Ireland before finalists were selected in each category.
Judges praised the exceptionally high standard of work, with finalists demonstrating remarkable creativity, craftsmanship and originality through their photographic submissions.
Being named a finalist in the category recognises Suzie, Diana and the Rainbow Room International Artistic Team’s outstanding creativity, technical excellence, and artistic vision.
The achievement places them among the industry’s most exciting talents and one step closer to taking home one of hairdressing’s highest honours.
Now, the team will need to submit a further two images into each of the categories, and a second round of judging will take place during Salon International at ExCeL London on October 4, where judges will reconvene to select the winners in each category.
The winners will then be announced at the prestigious British Hairdressing Awards ceremony, taking place at the JW Marriott Grosvenor House on November 23.
Suzie McGill said: “For our Rainbow Room International team to be recognised in three categories is a huge achievement.
“These awards are one of the most coveted in the industry, and fiercely competitive, and to be named as finalists for not just one but three awards is such an honour.
“We pride ourselves on being Scotland’s colour experts, and bringing the Scottish Hairdresser of the Year and Colour Technician of the Year awards home would reinforce that and be an incredible achievement for our team and our clients.
“Our Art Team create the most exceptional work and excel in their craft in colour, cutting and styling, and to be recognised for this and be up against some of the other great
“Artistic teams in the country for this accolade is a privilege. To win all three awards at the finals would just be an unbelievable end to the year.”
