Daniel was nominated for the category of Wales and South West Hairdresser of the Year.
He is thrilled to have won this spot that was like receiving an Oscar nomination through some fierce competition.
This being just the second anniversary of the opening of his hugely successful salon in Budleigh Salterton, just being nominated is an honor in itself and he felt privileged to have come this far.
Daniel has styled hair for top models such as Yasmin Le Bon during London Fashion Week and his UK shows include the Cosmopolitan Show, London and the Clothes Show Live at Birmingham's NEC.
Any hairdresser from any salon can enter the awards and compete with the biggest names in the industry on a level playing field.
Unlike other competitions, the British Hairdressing Awards is based on photographic entries that demonstrate the skills and talents of the entrant.
Daniel will have to wait until November 27, to find out whether he has scooped the top award.
