The first Professional Beauty Regional Awards are now open for entries, designed to get your salon or spa recognised as the best in your area.

The ceremony will be held at Grade II-listed building The Monastery in Manchester on the evening of September 18, 2016, after the second day of Professional Beauty North exhibition.

The Regional Awards are now your pathway to the main Professional Beauty Awards – anyone wishing to enter the national awards must now enter the regionals, and winners will automatically go through to the finals of the main awards in the appropriate category, to be held in February 2017.

Winners will receive a trophy and logo to display in their premises and online and can look forward to both national press coverage in Professional Beauty and extensive attention in local media. Past winners of the national awards have seen a big boost in business and personal career developments following their win.

José Baker, spa director at C Bay Spa at Carbis Bay Hotel in St Ives, Cornwall, commented on the spa’s recent Residential Spa of the Year: 10 Rooms or Fewer win at the 2016 PB Awards: “These awards are the Oscars of the spa and beauty industry – so a win is an acknowledgment that you are at the top of your profession.”

Ros Debenham, owner of Radiance MediSpa in Exeter, which won Medical Aesthetic Clinic of the Year, said: “It feels amazing to win. I think it will help the business enormously. All our clients follow us when we are shortlisted for and win awards and they love it.”
