The wait is over! We’re thrilled to reveal the finalists for HJ’s British Hairdressing Business Awards 2027, celebrating the talented individuals, teams and businesses making their mark on the hairdressing and barbering industries.
Recognising excellence across all aspects of the business, from outstanding customer service and innovative marketing to inspiring leadership and sustainability, the awards shine a spotlight on those going above and beyond to drive the industry forward.
And this year, there's even more to celebrate, as the British Hairdressing Business Awards 2027 incorporate the Modern Barber Awards, recognising the achievements of barbers, barbershops and grooming businesses alongside the very best in hairdressing.
The finalists will come together on Monday 1 March 2027, when the winners will be revealed at London Hilton on Park Lane, in a celebration of business excellence. Book your tickets now!
Making the shortlist is an achievement in itself, and we'd like to congratulate everyone who has earned a place among this year's finalists.
For a reminder of last year's celebrations, take a look at the British Hairdressing Business Awards 2026 winners.
