Hairnews 2021 Awards: The Results Announced!

We are thrilled to announce the results of the 2021 Hairnews Awards! Congratulations to our winners and finalists in the Voting Categories and Judged Categories. All winners will receive an exclusive handmade “flame” trophy by local artist Ignatius.

We are grateful to the expertise of all our judges, including the final international judge for the Box Colour and Post Lockdown Makeover awards, Sally Brooks, Brooks & Brooks Hairdressing, UK, who offered her expertise as there were tie-breakers in these sections. Congratulations to everyone who entered these very strong and well supported sections.

One section where it was impossible to decide on a winner was the Lockdown Leadership category. Everyone in this category played such an important role in inspiring others and flying the flag high during the level 5 lockdown, that we decided to award every finalist with a trophy.

The stunning trophies are ready and we are busy finalising the name plaques. Trophies and certificates will be couriered to all winners and finalists within the next two weeks.

Here are the lists of winners in all categories.
