Errol Douglas named top stylist at Black Beauty Awards

British Hairdresser of the Year nominee Errol Douglas scooped the top award at last night’s annual Black Beauty / Wahl Hair Awards, being named Stylist of the Year for his gorgeous new collection.

Renowned for his stunning photographic work, Errol has won several of the world’s most coveted awards. He has been nominated eleven times for British Hairdresser of the Year, winner of the Afro category twice, overall AIPP Grand Trophy winner, the Fellowship for British Hairdressing’s Hairdresser of the Year, the Fellowship Gold Salon Consumer Award (2 consecutive years), Creative Head Media Darling of the Year and the British Master Award at the Australian Hair Fashion Awards ceremony.

Errol says, “It was amazing to win because it’s an acknowledgement of the styles we do that are suitable for the mainstream. It’s a powerful collection that’s very directional, this is where I think afro hair should be going. It’s looser, freer of products, fluid and very now. It’s about strong cuts, shapes and colours, and high energy.”

In summer 1998, Errol opened the Errol Douglas salon in London’s gorgeous Belgravia Village. The salon’s immense success is testament to the dedication of Errol and his team of talented stylists.

Hailed as a fusion of European and Afro styling, the salon set its unerring standards in the early 2000’s, with services such as a masseur, nail technician, in-house catering service, chauffeur, exclusive jewellery range, personalised umbrellas, V.I.P entrance and the much publicised Express 2 Impress packages for swift styling.

Errol is now the figurehead for professional products brand Matrix, and 2008 sees the salon’s 10th birthday and the introduction of a fabulous new hair treatments area – watch this space for more exciting developments.

Errol Douglas is at 18 Motcomb Street, Knightsbridge, London SW1X 8LB
