The Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards 2026 are currently open for entries, with the gala ceremony taking place at the InterContinental Dublin on 19 April 2026, as part of the Professional Beauty & Hair 2026 show weekend.
The deadline for entries is 17 October, and there is no time like to present to put yourself forward for one of these shiny trophies.
There are 13 categories in total, and we are urging everyone to check the criteria for all of them, as you may be eligible to enter one you thought didn’t include you.
For example, the Therapist of the Year category, sponsored by SQT Ireland, is for any beauty therapist who has been working in a salon, spa, clinic or as a mobile therapist. Therapists who work from their own homes are eligible. All kinds of beauty therapists are welcome to enter, including skincare therapists, lash and brow artists, and nail technicians.
The Salon/Spa/Hair Team of the Year celebrates teams, and to enter, the team must be made up of three or more, encompassing all relevant employees, from reception and front of house staff, to those working on the salon floor.
The Business Director of the Year category, sponsored by Eden Beauty Group, is for business directors, but did you know that a joint entry may consist of a maximum of three directors?
So, make sure to check the criteria so you can be sure you have entered a category that recognises your talent and skills. And if you have any questions about this, feel free to email our team on [email protected], and someone will answer your query.
We look forward to receiving your entries, and good luck!
