Top tips for entering the Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards!
The Beauty, Hair & Spa Awards are now open for entries, and as this is your first opportunity to sell yourself and your business to the judges, we have some advice to help you navigate the process.
Entry guidelines
Choose your category – you will find the full list here. Make sure that you’re entering the right category for you by checking the entry criteria shown on our website.
Understand your responsibilities. 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. Finalists in the Junior/Assistant of the Year, Therapist of the Year and Business Director of the Year categories will be required to attend a virtual interview. 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. If you are shortlisted in the Irish Hairdresser of the Year, Colour Technician of the Year or Artistic Team of the Year, you will be required to enter an additional two images digitally through the awards platform and send in hard copies of all your images. You will be sent further information on this once the shortlist has been revealed.
Make a note of important dates. Make sure you’re aware of the deadline date of 28 May. Entries cannot be accepted once the date has passed, so add this to your diary now!
Don’t leave entering to the last minute. Our server experiences very high volumes of traffic around the deadline date, and this could mean that you fail to submit your entry in time or lose your submission. We cannot make exceptions for failure to meet the deadline, so please make sure you arrange to submit your entry well before the deadline.
Writing your entry
All entries must be submitted in English and must have a valid phone number and email address that the team can contact you on. If your details do change at all throughout the application process, let us know immediately.
If you have won any previous awards, please upload a certificate/photo. If you have been featured or mentioned in press, scan the article to provide this as part of your entry. These supporting documents give you the perfect opportunity to show the judges what you are made of.
Before submitting your entry, check and check again! This is your chance to impress the judges so be sure to make the best impression possible by ensuring that you have answered every question, and the passion you have shines through.
So, now that you have all the top tips, it’s time to take that first step! Wishing everyone lots of luck and we look forward to receiving your entries!
