Beauty Awards 2027

Beauty awards celebrate the people and businesses who raise the bar across hair, beauty, nails, lashes, skin, spa and aesthetics. A shortlisting or win brings recognition from your peers, builds trust with clients and gives your team something to be proud of.

The awards calendar runs all year and around the world. London has a famous season, from the British Hairdressing Awards in November to the Professional Beauty Awards, the CEW UK Beauty Awards and the Aesthetics Awards in early spring. In North America, the Contessa Awards honour Canadian hairdressing each November, the MUAHS Guild Awards celebrate film and television hair and makeup in Los Angeles each February, and the NAHA awards are presented in Orlando in June. Australia and New Zealand have the New Zealand Hair Awards, the Australian Hair Fashion Awards and the AHIA Creative Awards in Sydney. Spa and wellness awards include the Good Spa Guide Awards, the Asia Pacific Spa and Wellness Awards and the Destination Deluxe Awards in Bangkok. Many awards, such as the World Spa Awards and the Global Makeup Awards, can be entered online from anywhere.

Every beauty awards event for 2027 is listed below with dates, venues and who can enter, so you can plan your entries and your awards nights.

Planning your awards year

Most awards open for entries several months before the ceremony, so it pays to plan ahead. The busiest season for ceremonies runs from autumn into early spring, with many winners announced at gala dinners in London, Toronto and Sydney, while online awards open their entries at different points through the year.

Choosing which awards to enter

• For creative work: hair and makeup awards such as the British Hairdressing Awards, NAHA and the AHIA Creative Awards judge collections and photography.
• For business success: awards such as the SALON TODAY 200 Awards and the British Hairdressing Business Awards recognise strong salons and leaders.
• For spa and wellness: the Good Spa Guide Awards and World Luxury Spa Awards celebrate great guest experiences.
• For aesthetics and skin: the Aesthetics Awards and the Best In Skin Awards recognise clinical excellence.

Attending an awards night

Book your tickets and hotel early, as tables at the big ceremonies sell out. Check the dress code, plan your travel home after a late finish and use the evening to connect with judges, sponsors and other finalists.
