Cos Sakkas won the title at the One Shot Awards with his Vertigo collection (above). He also won British Hairdresser of the Year and International Hairdresser of the Year with the same collection.

“Waking up to hear that I won the Big Shot International Styling Collection of the Year was an amazing start to the week,” said Cos. “I’m proud to be flying the flag for British hairdressing around the world and also to be part of an industry that continues to be creative and inspiring.”
Created in 2015 by behindthechair.com Founder & CEO Mary Rector, #ONESHOT Hair Awards celebrates real artists working ‘behind the chair’ every day in salons around the world. “Traditionally, award competitions are only for hairstylists who can do a studio photoshoot,” Mary explains. “In the past eight years, over one and a half million entries have been recorded in the competition. We feel hair awards should have the same transparency where everyone is able to see each other’s work. With #ONESHOT, everyone sees the competition.“
