The Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards 2026 are currently open for entries, with the gala cermony taking place at the InterContinental Dublin on 19 April, as part of the Professional Beauty & Hair show weekend.
If you are thinking about entering and have any queries, we have put together a handy Q&A that will hopefully explain everything!
What are the Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards?
Launched in 2022, the Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards bring together the beauty, hair and spa industry in Ireland to celebrate talent and success. They recognise those who make a real difference to the sector, acknowledging excellence of care, service and standards.
Who organises and judges them?
Organised by the same teams behind HJ's British Hairdressing Awards and the Professional Beauty Awards in the UK, the Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards are judged independently by a panel of industry experts, who are selected for their knowledge, skills and expertise to ensure only the very best win in each and every category.
Do I have to pay to enter?
No, it's completely free to enter. The only cost involved is if you wish to attend Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards ceremony.
How many categories are there?
For 2026, there are 13 categories in total across beauty, hair and spa.
Can I enter from Northern Ireland?
Yes, we’d love to receive your entries.
What is the last date to submit my entry?
All entries must be submitted by 5pm on 17 October 2025.
Can I enter more than one category?
Yes, you can, but please ensure you have submitted each entry separately, and that they are in the transactions section of your account. Also make sure each entry is unique in its content – the judges can become familiar with repeated entries.
Do I need to complete the online entry form and submit straight away?
No – the entry form can be saved by clicking ‘save for later’ and returned to at any point by logging back in and selecting ‘saved items’. But try not to leave it too late to complete your entry as you don't want to be rushing it at the last minute.
Can I submit more than one entry under the same account log in?
Yes – one account can be created for multiple entries, including entries for different salons/spas/entrants. Please ensure the correct details are completed on the entry form.
What happens if I’m shortlisted?
For some of the categories, if you reach the finalist stage, you will be required to attend an online interview on a chosen date. For more information on the categories, visit here.
