Anna Chapman | HairCon 2025

Anna Chapman

Anna began her career at Trevor Sorbie at the age of 19, quickly progressing from stylist to Artistic Director!

During her time at Trevor Sorbie, she was an integral part of the artistic team, contributing to international shows, educational projects, and creating stunning imagery for the salon and Trevor’s product range.


Her exceptional talent earned her numerous prestigious accolades, including the BHA Newcomer of the Year award, the L’Oréal Colour Trophy Men’s award, the Fashionista IT Award, and nominations as a finalist for the BHA Southern Hairdresser of the Year and BHA London Hairdresser of the Year awards.


Anna’s creative work on set sparked a passion for session styling, leading her to assist backstage at Fashion Week with some of the industry’s most renowned figures, including Anthony Turner, Duffy, Eugene Souleiman, and Sam McKnight. These experiences paved the way for her to join Guido Palau’s core team. Over the course of 3½ years, Anna worked on some of the world’s most high-profile shows and campaigns, further refining her craft.


While working internationally at these shows, Anna noticed a significant gap in the industry: access to the best tools of the trade. She realized that many hair stylists lacked easy access to top-tier tools, no matter where they were based. Determined to address this, Anna made it her mission to source the finest, sought-after tools and bring them together on one platform. This vision led her to create Sessionkit.com, where she serves as CEO and Founder. The platform provides global access to the highest standard of tools, ensuring hairdressers around the world can work with the best equipment they deserve.


In time, Anna transitioned from Guido’s team and signed with the Julian Watson Agency. With her forever growing portfolio, she has had the privilege of collaborating with world-renowned photographers like David Sims, Oliver Hadlee Pearch and Drew Vickers. While also contributing to prestigious publications such as British Vogue, Purple, AnOther, and Beyond Noise, among others.
