British Hairdressing Business Awards

Hairdressers Journal International launched the British Hairdressing Business Awards in 1999 to raise the profile of the professional hairdressing industry by recognising and rewarding innovation, business acumen and excellence throughout the industry.

“Dedication and commitment to excellence is something that has been shown by every finalist,” commented Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Hairdressers Journal International, Jayne Lewis-Orr.

“All of the finalists represent the best the hairdressing industry has to offer.”

To enter the British Hairdressing Business Awards, salons or individuals have to meet the criteria set down by the sponsors and the organisers. This has to be presented in a dossier, which is judged over two days, by a panel of industry experts along with the category sponsors. From the first round judging, finalists are selected and their dossiers are then judged by an independent panel of judges.

The night got off to a fantastic start, with a welcoming cocktail party, followed by a four-course dinner and entertainment. After dinner leading TV and radio personality and host of BBC’s Watchdog – Nicky Campbell announced the individual awards, with category sponsors presenting the awards to the jubilant winners. Winners receive an exclusive, beautifully designed contemporary British Hairdressing Business Awards trophy inlaid with eighteen-carat gold.
