The National Hair and Beauty Federation (NHBF) has announced the highly anticipated Top 100 Influencer Index 2023, celebrating the dynamic individuals who have helped shaped the hair and beauty sector.
In an industry where innovation, creativity and digital prowess are all prominent markers for success, for the third year running, the NHBF has curated a prestigious list acknowledging the visionaries, trendsetters, and trailblazers who are propelling the sector forward.
Held at St John’s Church in Hyde Park on Monday 20 November, The NHBF Top 100 Influencer Index 2023 celebrated the diverse voices, skills, knowledge and exceptional contributions of professionals across the sector, including, but not limited to hairstyling, skincare, makeup artistry, massage, salon management and entrepreneurial leadership.
Hairstylist Chlöe Swift took home the coveted number one spot after placing 13th in 2022 and 9th at the inaugural awards in 2021. A delighted Chloe commented: “I’m so pleased and genuinely surprised to have landed the top spot at the NHBF Top 100 Influencer Index 2023! As it’s ranked with social stats and analytics, you never know which way it will go when the rankings are announced - I was just hoping for a place in the top 5 to be honest! I’ve been lucky enough to be in the top 20 for the last 2 years - #9 in 2021 and #13 in 2022. This year I really focused on posting six days a week consistently across three platforms, sharing hair styling tutorials and tips for both professionals and consumers. Thank you NHBF for the #1 spot, I can’t wait for the year ahead!”
Caroline Larissey, the newly elected Chief Executive of the NHBF added: "The NHBF Top 100 Influencer Index represents a celebration of innovation, talent and dedication within the hair and beauty sector. These influencers not only champion professionalism, but they have transformed trends and more importantly, they have also significantly contributed to raising the profile and advancement of our sector, inspiring others to push boundaries and strive for greatness."
