The winners of HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards have been announced at an exclusive awards night in London.
Held on Monday 4th July at the Park Plaza, Westminster Bridge, the British Hairdressing Business Awards evening recognises the most successful salon businesses that have helped make the British hairdressing industry the most respected in the world. From standout salons and exemplary teamwork to groundbreaking innovations and trailblazing individuals, HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards are an annual celebration of business brilliance.
A total of 17 trophies were handed out during the event, with awards presented by representatives from the category sponsors and industry VIPS.
“The last few years have presented our industry – and the economy at large – with seemingly endless challenges,” said Jayne Lewis-Orr, Executive Director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards. “Our winners have shown resilience, dedication and pure passion, and their love of hairdressing is evident in all they do. From a thorough understanding of the market to remarkable attention to detail and a genuine desire to offer an exceptional service to their clients, these salons, teams and individuals represent all that makes British hairdressing so very special. I’m delighted to see them recognised and acknowledged in this way.”
