Mark Robinson and Kelly Thompson from Soul Hairdressing in Belfast are through to the L'Oréal Colour Trophy Grand Final with their futuristic interpretation of the metallic trend.

Mark Robinson, salon owner, explains the thinking behind their forward thinking image: "We've gone for a very futuristic look as seen on the catwalks in the Autumn/Winter 07 collections. The outfit incorporates chrome and silver and this strong theme is continued in the hair with strong lines, a heavy visor fringe and shades of blue, black and raspberry.”

Mark enlisted the talents of wife Catriona, who designed the make-up while fellow salon stylist Nicola Robinson picked out the gorgeous outfit.

"We're absolutely on top of the world,” exclaimed Mark upon receiving the award. "This is the fourth time we've entered the L'Oréal Colour Trophy but it will be the first time we go through to the Grand Final. I can't describe what a fantastic feeling it is to get this far.”
