Congratulations to the finalists of the Australian Hair Industry Awards (Business) for 2022. The esteemed group of nominees was announced this week in categories that honour individual hair business pioneers as well as salons, specialist businesses, educators and professional products.
The awards platform uniquely highlights the essential business sector of the hair industry and provides a snapshot of the many facets that make up this discipline, since it launched in 2011.
The final awards will take place at a gala event to be held at the Gold Coast Convention and Exhibition Centre on Sunday October 9, accompanied by a dynamic hair show directed and choreographed by Adam Williams.
“Our 2022 awards have seen the largest amount of entries we have ever had which is testament to the way the industry is pulling together and coming back post-COVID to be stronger than before,” said Linda Woodhead of Mocha Group. “These awards are a chance for these important businesses in our local communities to shine a light on their achievements and to celebrate our industry camaraderie face to face.
The AHIAs (Business) are sponsored by Timely, Redken, Kitomba, Sustainable Salons, Excellent Edges, Matrix, Schwarzkopf Professional, Goldwell, L’Oréal Professionnel, Revlon Professional, HairBiz, Shortcuts, DNA, The Zing Project, KMS, EVY Professional, Comfortel and Wella Professionals.
