Hooker & Young Style Awards

This year's Hooker & Young photographic awards, which were open to all team members, saw assistants and stylists entering their incredible creative looks - all photographed by Michael Young. The beautiful results were judged by top names in the hairdressing industry, and we are excited to share the winners!
