Life THROUGH A LENS
Mark van Westerop is the owner of Pro-Solo salon in Alkmaar, The Netherlands, and has won Dutch Hairdresser of the Year three times
1 After entering Dutch Hairdresser of the Year 12 times I won the award in 2014 with my Warrior collection, so this image is really special to me.
2 After doing a show in Moscow I was so inspired by the culture that this became the theme for my winning Avant Garde Hairdresser of the Year 2017 collection.
3 During lockdown, when the whole world was black and white and very compartmentalised, I created the Meltdown collection.
4 I was proud to be the first person to win Dutch Hairdresser of the Year with a men's collection in 2022.
5 This is my favourit e photo from my winning 2016 Avant Garde collection. I created this having just recovered from a two-year burnout.
6 I always like to push the boundaries, but when it comes to my clients I strive for a harmonious organic touch.
7 l love working on beautiful hair for my clients and creating a head-turning look that a woman would love to wear.
