Next Hair’s Head Colourist, Leslie Henshaw, has placed as a finalist in two major industry awards for his creative cut and colour work. After competing against some tough national competition, Leslie is the only Canberran to work his way through to the finals in both categories.

Leslie’s collection, ‘Chromatophores’, inspired by the changing cells of animals such of chameleons, impressed the judges for the ACT/NSW Hairdresser of the Year at the Australian Hair Fashion Awards. It also caught the eye of the judges for the 2016 Hot Shots Rising Star (Male).
