Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards 2021: what are the categories?
Now that the inaugural Hair, Beauty & Spa Awards 2021 are open for entries, choosing a category is one of the most important decisions you need to make.
Organised by the same teams behind the Professional Beauty Awards and the British Hairdressing Awards, the Ireland awards have 16 categories across hair and beauty, all of which have been carefully chosen to reflect the various strengths within the sectors.
The eight categories for beauty professionals are:
- Aesthetic clinic of the year, sponsored by Aesthetic Training Academy Ireland
- Make-up Artist of the Year
- Nail Salon of the Year
- Nail technician of the Year
- Beauty Salon of the Year
- Beauty Salon Or Spa Team of the Year

The eight categories for hair professionals are:

- Barber of the Year
- Business Director of the Year
- Colour Technician of the Year

- Assistant/Junior of the Year
- Hair Salon of the Year

Picking the right category for you is a hugely important part of the awards process, as you want to opt for the one that highlights your skills and talents the most. You also need to be aware of the various criteria within each one. For example, team categories are for three or more members. Anyone entering the Assistant/Junior of the Year must be in training for a maximum of three years up to the end of April 2020.
If you are shortlisted for Artistic Team of the Year, Colour Technician of the Year or Irish Hairdresser of the Year, you will be required to send in hard copies of your images. If you are shortlisted in the Business Director of the Year, Junior/Assistant of the Year or Therapist of the Year categories, you will be required to attend a virtual interview on Wednesday, 22 or Thursday, 23 September 2021. You can read more about the entry criteria on our website.
And finally, don’t forget the deadline date of 28 May. Entries cannot be accepted once the date has passed, so add this to your diary now as you choose your category and tell us what makes you the best!
