New location

This year, The Industry Awards will be returning to Auckland. Get ready for a glamourous event, celebrating the best business, training and creative talent in New Zealand’s hair, beauty and barbering industries.

New Training Awards

This year, we’re introducing separate Apprentice of the Year categories, meaning there’ll be individual Hairdressing, Barbering and Beauty Apprentices of the Year. We’re also introducing an Industry Assessor of the Year category. With more awards, there’s even more to celebrate!
