A Cotswold hairdresser has received his third international award nomination in less than a year.

Martin Crean has been nominated for International Hairdresser of the Year at the Contessa Awards, run by Canadian publication, Salon Magazine.

He said: “I am beyond humbled to be shortlisted for International Hairdresser of the Year. There are so many incredible hairdressers around the world and for my work to be recognised is such an honour.”

The team are the current Artistic Team of the Year at the British Hairdressing Awards and are finalists once again for 2021.

Martin is also a finalist in three different categories at The Big One Awards, held by Tribute Magazine.

These latest nominations come at the end of what has been an incredibly successful year for the salon.

Earlier this year Martin was shortlisted for International Hairdresser of the Year in the Australian Hair Industry Awards, where he will be up against competition from Australia and Spain, and just last month his team received a nomination for International Artistic Team of the Year in the International Hairdressing Awards.
