At last night’s Most Wanted and It List Awards, hosted by stand-up comedian and star of Channel Four’s Taskmaster, Sophie Duker, Creative HEAD and 680 guests celebrated a new cohort of champions.

Among the 26 stars recognised, four hairdressing heroes joining Most Wanted Legend realm! Most Wanted Legend trophies are awarded to individuals who have won a category three times, and we’re proud to name the 2023 recipients. Here they are!

Anna Cofone

Anna Cofone
LEGEND: Independent Stylist winner in 2020, 2021 and 2022
Called upon by names from Lana Del Rey to Claudia Schiffer, publications including Vogue, Dazed, and Wallpaper*, as well as brands like Isabel Marant, Gucci, NET-A-PORTER, and Sephora, Anna’s wide-reaching artistry is nothing short of sublime. But that’s not all, her heart is as big as her talent – she recently launched HAIR&CARE, dedicated to empowering visually impaired individuals. An industry gem and now a Most Wanted Legend.

Eugene Souleiman

Eugene Souleiman
LEGEND: Hair Icon winner in 2013, 2018 and 2022
Hair Icon winner 2013, 2018, 2022
An artist in no need of introduction, Eugene limitless creativity has inspired generations of hair professionals, and every one of his creations is an art form, pushing the boundaries of sculpture, texture, and colour. In demand by the world’s most visionary names, including Jean Paul Gaultier, Maison Margiela, Yohji Yamamoto, and Off-White, and gracing cover after cover, and campaign after campaign with his unique aesthetic, Eugene is innovation personified.

Jody Taylor

Jody Taylor
LEGEND: Men’s Hair Specialist winner in 2018, 2020 and 2022
Jody is a revolutionary talent in the men’s market, responsible for creating styles that become cult. He has an eye for the effortlessly cool, which has attracted brands such as JORDANLUCA, Vetements and Matches Fashion, titles from Interview to Man About Town and high-profile names including Emma D’Arcy, Jack O’Connell and Callum Turner. Fuelling the fire of other barbers and men’s hair stylists, he also set up Leftside Creative, a talent agency to give these artists a platform to reach their full potential in the fashion world. Proof that nice guys finish first, not last.

Mark Woolley

Mark Woolley
LEGEND: Business Thinker winner in 2016, 2019 and 2022
Mark’s business brain is always a beat ahead. His brand, Electric, is supercharged by three salons, a London members club, education, products, and events, all bringing together creatives across the industry and beyond. Meanwhile the Falmer Court head office is a product lab, a farm for ingredients, a studio, and a source of water for manufacturing! A true forward-thinker, Mark understands how to keep things current, and that’s what makes him a Business Thinker Legend.

Tate Modern’s Turbine Hall was also lit up by 16 Most Wanted stars of 2023, and six new high-flying hair professionals named on the 2023 It List.
