Sunday (February 24) saw the best in the industry honoured at a glittering black-tie evening hosted by presenter Claudia Winkleman at the Hilton Hotel, Park Lane, Mayfair, where the winners of the Professional Beauty Awards were announced.
A Professional Beauty Award is a sign of excellence; recognition and a worthy accolade that will give additional edge over competitors and help boost individual and company profiles.
With a judging process that involves interviews, trade tests, presentations and mystery shops, the Professional Beauty Awards is the fairest scheme in the business and the winners are thoroughly deserving of their trophies.
