How to Enter
The Salon Awards is open to hair salons, and individuals actively working in all areas of the England, Scotland, Wales, and Ireland. To enter, you choose the categories you want to, and complete and submit your entry form.
We do not nominate winners or finalists!
Your entry is then judged against salons or your peers entering from the same area. Eg. If your salon is in London, you will be judged against other salons who take part from London. If you are a colourist from Merseyside, you will be judged against other colourists from Merseyside.
All participants must complete the online entry form fully. Entries are judged by our industry panel, which consists of experts in salon business, hair technique, marketing and interior design, and the winners are revealed at one of the Salon Awards celebratory events.
This year our awards event will be held in Dublin, Manchester and London. Make a night of it and celebrate with your peers!
