A platform for young hairdressers defining the industry of tomorrow

Chris Appleton, Sophia Hilton, Grace Dalgleish, Giuseppe Stelitano, Hayden Cassidy… They all put their name on the It List and are examples of It Listers going on to achieve incredible success (Kim Kardashian’s stylist, an education and mentoring empire, a contract with Dior… and so much more!). There are six categories to choose from, representing a range of skill, achievement and new ways of working – plus, it’s free to enter, and entries are judged by dozens of experts working in hair, fashion, business and the media. Winners are named at the Most Wanted and It List Grand Final in London – a hot ticket event attended by hundreds of influential guests. As well as a coveted trophy, an exclusive gift from ghd, and incredible opportunities to be part of Creative HEAD editorials and events, those named on the It List enjoy overnight industry respect and recognition. The It List is looking for the names set to shape the hairdressing industry – put YOUR name on it!
