Are you the best hair colour technician in the business?

The inaugural PB/HJ Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards 2022 are now open for entries, with the event taking place on the evening of 6 November in Citywest in Dublin, as part of the annual PB/HJ show weekend.

With 16 categories in total – eight for beauty and eight for hair, split to recognise business and creative skills – among the hair categories is Colour Technician of the Year. Open to all qualified hairdressers who work in a commercial environment and have done so for a minimum of three years, excluding training, entrants must have a regular client column, which means working in a salon for a minimum of one day per week.

Four images make up the first round entry, with a further two required for those who become a finalist – the images entered can have been published in print and on social media. You need to upload digital copies of the images here and finalists will be required to submit hard copies of their finalist collection for in-person judging.

Your initial online entry needs to include a video of your shoot, the four final images, together with pre-edit and before images. You will also need to complete our standard questionnaire for each look.

Now is the time to put yourself forward and be recognised as the best colour technician in the business. Entering will spark your imagination, creativity and passion, and give you a unique opportunity to showcase your talent to the industry.
