How do I enter?
Entry to all Professional Beauty Awards is free. However, if you make the shortlist of the Regional Awards, you will be expected to cover the cost of a treatment for an official visitor who will visit you premises to ask you questions, experience it as a guest would, then report back to the judging panel.
Should you then go on to win and be put through to the finals of the national awards, you would then also be expected to cover the cost of a treatment for a mystery shopper who reports back to the national judges.
When will the winners be announced?
Winners of the Professional Beauty Regional Awards will be announced at a champagne afternoon tea awards ceremony, to be held in Manchester on October 8, 2017.
What else do I need to know?
Winners and some particularly highly scoring finalists from the Regional Awards will automatically be put through to the finals of the national Professional Beauty Awards for 2018.
This means that in order to enter the national Professional Beauty Awards 2018 (held in London in February), spas and salons must enter the Professional Beauty Regional Awards 2017.
Deadline for entries is May 11, 2017. Enter here.
