A hairdresser from Henley has been nominated for an award at this year's British Hairdressing Awards alongside a team from the same salon.

Tom Metcalf, a member of the Marc Antoni Salon Group, is in the running in the Southern Hairdresser of the Year category.

Marc Antoni's Henley salon has also reached the final for the Artistic Team of the Year trophy.

Mr Metcalf said: "Reaching the finals feels incredible - we’re over the moon.

"The standard of entries is always so impressive so it’s a real ‘pinch me’ moment to have made it this far.

"We love producing collections which show what we’re about as hairstylists and I hope the judges will recognise the passion and personality behind our work."

The winners will be decided by a panel of more than 100 leading hairdressers, with the results to be announced on November 25.

Jayne Lewis-Orr, executive director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards, added: "The past 40 years have seen us celebrate the most exciting and creative individuals working within this fantastic industry.

"Four decades on, HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards continue to recognise excellence, passion and technical ability, and it is privilege to honour those who are exceling in their field.

"The Marc Antoni team have demonstrated a level of skill, expertise and precision that is to be admired and they should be applauded for this remarkable achievement."
