Mr Hall said the secret to his success was about "working hard and making your collections stand out more". Recalling the moment he got into the profession, he said: "I was at college studying something else and I saw a friend work at a salon, I loved how she was changing people and how they looked. And how it made them feel.
"I fell in love with the industry. Who else goes to work and loves it? Every day is different." Commenting on Shaun’s Hall of Fame induction, Jayne Lewis-Orr, Executive Director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards said; “A huge congratulations to Shaun.
"Over the years his hair work has showcased phenomenal technical skill, as well as beauty and comprehension of current trends – he is truly deserving of this recognition.”
