PBHJ Awards 2021 – sharing your success

The inaugural PBHJ Awards are taking place on 7 November at Citywest, Dublin and will honour the very best beauty, hair and spa professionals in Ireland and Northern Ireland.

Organised by the team behind the Professional Beauty UK Awards and HJ’s British Hairdressing Awards sponsored by Schwarzkopf Professional, they are now open for entry across all 16 categories, with the deadline extended to 30 July.

Now that the Irish hair and beauty industry has reopened, there is no better time to put yourself forward for one of these prestigious awards as this is your opportunity to highlight what it is about you and your team that makes you stand out from your competitors.  

We’ve put together a list of the top 10 benefits of both entering and winning a PBHJ Award, so read on to find out why you should enter!

1. Competitive edge: when a potential client or new team member is checking out your business, a PBHJ Award adds to your credibility.

2. Quality mark: winning a PBHJ Award is a sign of service quality for existing and potential customers.

3. Staff morale: being an award-winning business gives stylists/therapists pride in what they do; it boosts their motivation and encourages them to work with the team for continued success.

4. Employee attraction and retention: to get and keep the best staff, you need to push your business forward and get maximum recognition as a dynamic and successful employer.

5. Business appraisal: completing the entry form will give you a chance to look over your business from a different perspective and identify areas where you excel and could improve.

6. PR: you’ll be featured in PBHJ Ireland magazine, our newsletter and across our social channels, all of which are the go-to reads for Irish beauty, hair and spa professionals.

7. Networking opportunity: attending the PBHJ Awards will give you the chance to meet other industry business leaders in an informal environment.

8. Feedback: whether or not you win, if you reach the finals, we can provide judging feedback (in certain categories) to help you identify strengths and weaknesses in your business and plan for success.

9. Career growth: the huge industry exposure that comes from winning a PBHJ Award can lead to new career opportunities, from collaborations to training or consultancy work.

10. Celebrate: after a challenging period of lockdowns and uncertainty, the PBHJ Awards are the perfect platform to celebrate the resilience the industry has shown, and the brighter future ahead.
