Top tips for entering the Professional Beauty & Hairdressers Journal Ireland Awards

Entering the awards

Read the entry criteria. Be sure 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 and 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 an interview in Dublin across 3-4 September 2020.

Make a note of important dates. Make sure you’re aware of the deadline date, entries cannot be accepted once the date has passed so add this to your diary now - May 29!

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 to 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 which the Awards team can contact you on! If your details do change at all throughout the application process do tell us immediately.

Back up your claims
