When will the winners be announced?

The announcement of the winners of the judged categories will be published in Hairnews on Saturday 30th September.


The winners in each category will receive an exclusive handmade “Star” trophy by Ignatius Chinyani who is a renowned and well-respected local artist and sculptor living in Johannesburg. He has been so kind to create truly unique masterpieces every year for the Hairnews Awards so each trophy is always distinctively in a class of its own.


The “Star” is symbolic to us this year as it truly represents not only the hopes and dreams of the people of our Industry but the stellar creative people who give their best to their clients every single day, fulfilling their clients’ own dreams and well-being with their artistry.


The Hairnews Team wishes all the finalists in the creative categories all the best in the final round of judging.
