British Hairdressing Business Awards 2019 announce winners

The meeting place was Plaza Westminster Bridge in London, and the host of the evening was TV presenter Vernon Kay. It was an impressive night hosted by Vernon and Hairdressers Journal International Executive Director Jane Lewis-Orr. The evening demonstrated just how strong the British hairdressing industry is.

“2019 has been an extremely challenging year for the British beauty industry, but the British Hairdressing Business Awards demonstrate that hairdressers are getting stronger every year and remain at the heart of society. This year’s winners have shown that through creative thinking, smart marketing and the use of social media, you can continue to attract clients to your salon and grow your business,” commented Jane.
