The Fellowship Academy of Merit and Excellence is all about spotting, nurturing, and promoting the industry’s rising stars, giving up-and-coming hairdressers the boost they need to shine in every aspect of the craft. Over a packed year, they get to work with top industry experts, hone their skills in photoshoots, shows, and seminars, and receive invaluable media and presentation training from the best in the business.

Hosted at Loft Studios, the semi-finals saw 14 up-and-coming hair maestros battle it out for the chance to compete as finalists. The judging panel was made up of industry legends Simon Tuckwell, Alastair Jubbs, Zoë Irwin, Christel Barron-Hough, Adam Garland, Kathryn Dartnell, Lathaniel Chambers, and 2024 F.A.M.E. team members, Elle Forman, Stephen Campbell, Ilaria Bellemo, and Harry Andreou. Think mood boards, models, and a two-minute live showcase – the stakes were high.

From sculpted styles to innovative cuts, only eight talented stylists survived the day. These future icons will return for a final round on the 21 October, with the official 2025 F.A.M.E. Team being announced at December’s Fellowship Luncheon and Hair Awards.

President of the Fellowship for British Hairdressing, Ashleigh Hodges, wishes congratulations to this year’s finalists, commenting, “The response to being part of the 2025 F.A.M.E. team was incredible, and the calibre of entries was exceptional. All the finalists should be extremely proud of themselves – the talent that was demonstrated at the semi-finals was phenomenal!”

With the final just weeks away, the countdown to discovering the next big names in British hairdressing is officially on!
