Steven Smart, who runs Smart: Est 73 in The Boulevard, will find out if he is the British Hairdresser Of The Year at a glamorous award ceremony in November.

The potential accolade would sit alongside an impressive array of awards having won European and world titles before.

Steven said: “I am utterly blown away by the news. It’s fantastic.

“I’ve had my heart set on these awards ever since I was named world champion in 2008.

“I’ve been shortlisted before so I’m hoping this time I’ll be coming back with the trophy.

“I’m going to be on tenterhooks until November.”
