Byron Hairdressing in Kilkcaldy presented a sharp, edgy entry to the L'Oréal Men's Image judges, winning them the chance to fly the flag for Scotland at the Grand Final in May. Their team comprised of salon owner Ronnie Marshall and colourist Karolyn Watt, who collectively delivered a fashion-savvy, fresh look the judges thought exemplary.

Ronnie described how his team developed the flavour of modernity in their look, explaining; "We picked up on a rebellious theme from two different eras. The Mod look from the sixties and the Pete Doherty rock star chic that is very popular at the moment. Strong masculinity is key to the execution of our look and we mixed metallic colours in blue and mulberry to give the overall style a fresh twist.”

For Ronnie in particular, the chance to compete at the Grand Final in London is genuinely a dream come true, as he has entered the competition 13 times previously without making it to the final stage.

"It's absolutely amazing, I'm ecstatic! We have always focussed on the women's category but this year, on our 14th attempt, we thought we'd try something different and go for the L'Oréal Men's Image. I can't wait to get to London to continue this journey.”
