The Industry Awards recognise the best training, business and creative talent in New Zealand’s hair, beauty and barbering industries.

This year’s event will be held on Sunday 12th November at the Cordis in Auckland. Brought to life by HITO | Te Pūkenga, Kitomba Salon & Spa Software and Hair & Barber New Zealand, the coveted awards seek to celebrate both individual and team success.

Early bird tickets for the Industry Awards are on sale now, offering a discounted price until Monday 24^th July.

“We find even people who might not be entering love to buy a ticket as it’s a great way to network and connect with friends in the industry,” says Kamrin Hira of Kitomba Salon & Spa Software. “Many businesses also purchase tickets as an end of year treat for their staff. They will buy an entire table and take their team with them to celebrate before the busy season hits.”

Submissions for the Industry Awards are currently open across three award categories—Training, Business, and Creative—with respective judges Lucas Jones, Rebecca Brent, Rex Silver, Mana Dave, and Patrick Cameron confirmed on this year’s panel.
