About Hair Awards
Hair awards shine a light on the creativity and business talent behind the chair. Photographic collections, colour work, salon teams, educators and rising stars all have their moment, and a single title can change the course of a career.
The autumn and winter season is a highlight. The New Zealand Hair Awards and the Contessa Awards in Toronto both arrive in November, the Alternative Hair Show and International Visionary Award comes to Madrid mid month, and the British Hairdressing Awards fill JW Marriott Grosvenor House in London in late November. In 2027, the MUAHS Guild Awards honour film and television hair artists in Los Angeles in February, and the British Hairdressing Business Awards follow in March. The Australian Hair Fashion Awards are in Sydney in May, SALON TODAY 200 celebrates salons in San Diego that month, NAHA comes to Orlando in June and the AHIA Creative Awards are in Sydney at the end of June. Colour competitions such as the House of Wella TrendVision Award and L'Oreal Colour Trophy run on their own cycles through the year.
Every hair awards event is listed below with dates, venues and who can attend, so you can plan your entries and celebrate your team.

Plan your trip
How the awards calendar works
Most hair awards open entries several months before the ceremony, often with photographic submissions judged by a panel. Finalists are announced ahead of the big night, giving salons time to share the news with clients.
Choosing your awards
- Creative and photographic: NAHA, the Contessa Awards, the Australian Hair Fashion Awards and the British Hairdressing Awards are known for collection work.
- Colour: brand led colour awards such as TrendVision and the Colour Trophy suit colourists who want to compete.
- Salon business: the British Hairdressing Business Awards and SALON TODAY 200 recognise teams and growth.
- Online: several national awards are judged online, so you can enter without travelling.
On the night
Hair awards are usually ticketed black tie or dressy evenings. Book rooms at or near the venue early, especially for the big London and Orlando ceremonies, and plan photographs with your team.
