Creative Stylist Anna Chapman has been nominated as ‘Newcomer of the Year’ in the 2007 Awards. The team from Trevor Sorbie Brighton will be at the gala awards ceremony at the Grosvenor House Hotel to cheer Anna on as the winners are announced. Salon Director Kate Wilson said: “Both Trevor and I believe Anna has a very high chance of winning the award. Her work is original and creative, but most importantly the styles she has created are stunningly beautiful.”
The British Hairdressing Awards are the most prestigious awards in the industry.
Hairdressers from across the UK vie for awards in categories such as ‘Newcomer of the Year’ and ‘Hairdresser of the Year’. Alison Jameson of The British Hairdressing Awards said:
“Newcomer of the Year is one of the largest categories with entries coming from all over the UK. To be nominated as one of only five national finalists in this category was an amazing achievement for Anna.”

Trevor Sorbie is no stranger to the Awards having won more than its fair share of Awards in the past. Trevor himself won the ‘Hairdresser of the Year’ Award an unrivalled four times, while the company has won the ‘Artistic Team’ Award for the past two years. In 2007 the Trevor Sorbie team are finalists in four categories: Angelo Seminara who works out of the Covent Garden salon, but oversees training for Brighton, has been nominated as both ‘British Hairdresser of the Year’ and ‘London Hairdresser of the Year’. With nominations in both the ‘Artistic Team’ and ‘Best Newcomer’ categories, 2007 looks like being a bumper awards year for the Trevor Sorbie team.
Trevor Sorbie Brighton is proud that an original member of the Brighton team has received a nomination. “It’s fantastic that after only four years in business, a home-grown member of our team has received a nomination” said Salon Director Kate Wilson. “Anna trained with us when we first opened and has since become one of the salon’s most popular stylists. With this nomination, people in Brighton will now be able to have their hair styled locally by a nationally recognised talent.”

And what does the girl herself think? “I’d always wanted to enter the Awards” said Anna. “It’s the biggest competition in hairdressing… you can’t get any better.” To secure her nomination Anna produced a ‘collection’ featuring her unique and beautiful hair designs. “I thought about every detail – from the hair styles, the models, lighting, design. I tried to create pictures which were simple and beautiful, which focused the attention on the hair.” When asked how her ‘collection’ differed from the work she did in the salon she said:
“My main focus in the salon is to really listen to what the clients want, then create styles which are going to be beautiful.”
