We are looking for entries from a diverse cross section of the hair and beauty industry, celebrating those who have just started out in the business right through to those who have dedicated their lives to the sector.

These awards started two years ago when The News Hair and Beauty and the ETC Hair and Beauty Awards joined forces, making the Southern Hair and Beauty Awards the largest hair and beauty awards of its kind along the South East coast.
