Liverpool Hairdresser Andrew Joseph Manion Named UK Hair & Beauty Awards 2025 Finalist

Liverpool-based hairdresser Andrew Joseph Manion is one of the top contenders at the 2025 UK Hair and Beauty Awards beating more than 50,000 competitors to make it to the national final.

Known for his expert colour, precision cutting and no nonsense service, Andrew made the tough decision to close his salon in Cressington during the aftermath of Covid. But instead of stepping back, he switched things up moving into a rental chair on Smithdown Road and focusing fully on his craft. The gamble paid off. Not only has he rebuilt a loyal client base, but he's now gained national recognition for it. "I've never been about trends or hype," Andrew says. "It's always been about doing things properly and looking after people in the chair. To have that recognised at this level means a lot."

The grand final takes place at The ICC in Birmingham on Saturday 30th August. Will Andrew make the national Top 50? We wish him all the very best. Follow Andrew to find out @AJMHAIR
