National and regional awards will presented in a number of separate categories.
Manager of the Year Awards will be offered separately for large & small businesses in the following categories:
Salon Marketing Awards may be awarded to an individual or a team who have shown particular innovation or success with a promotional campaign or activity.
Salon Hero Awards will be presented to inspirational individuals who have made exceptional contributions to their organisations. This may be any member of the team at any level.
The Salon Excellence Awards will be judged by a panel of independent, impartial assessors. See more information about our judges here.
To ensure a fair and rigorous assessment process, applications will be reviewed regionally by three separate judges and a short-list of nominees will be submitted as Finalists in each category.
At the final stage, additional information may be requested from applicants before the confirmed list of all Finalists are reviewed by all judges and an aggregate score will be used to determine the winners in each category.
Registration is open to professionals from beauty salons, aesthetics clinics or medi-spas and hair & beauty businesses. (Please note Hair salons that do not provide any beauty services are excluded from the awards).
Self-nominations or peer nominations are equally welcome. You must simply identify the category of Award you wish to apply for and enter the nominee’s details in the application form.
If you wish to keep the nomination for a colleague secret, you will be able to do this via the registration process.
