Thousands of nominations have been received for The News’ annual Hair and Beauty Awards. Here we reveal this year’s prestigious shortlist of salons and stylists.
It’s the third year for this award and the nominees keep getting better and better.
Event organiser Sara Allerton said: “This year the volume of nominations from our readers has been amazing. The support shown to their favoured salons stylists and therapists has been truly outstanding all those nominated should be exceptionally proud themselves”

The awards will be held on Saturday, June 15 at the Portsmouth Guildhall, where category winners will be revealed and presented with their award by TV star Amy Childs.
