British Hairdressing Business Awards 2023 Name Winners
The winners in the highly regarded HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards have been named for 2023, at an event that took place on Monday July 3 at London’s Park Plaza Westminster Bridge.
The annual awards recognise global industry leaders of pioneering people, brands and businesses in 17 categories that run the gamut of styling, salon business, marketing, innovation, education and more as they pertain to Britain’s best. Previous winners include such heralded names as Trevor Sorbie, TONI&GUY, Sophia Hilton, Colin McAndrew and Casey Coleman.
The evening was hosted by TV personality Craig Doyle and included a drink reception and three-course dinner. Trophies were presented to each winner by representatives from the category sponsors and industry VIPS.
“This year’s entries prove once again that the British hairdressing industry is brimming with passion and a desire to push boundaries and inspire others,” said Jayne Lewis-Orr, Executive Director of HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards. “Our finalists each displayed creative flair and business acumen, combined with a thirst for success and refusal to compromise on their ambitions. It is a true privilege to celebrate their achievements and share their stories of success with you this evening.”
