More than 400 guests came together at STEREO in the heart of London’s Covent Garden on Monday 7th September for a night dedicated to recognising talent, celebrating success and, most importantly, having a seriously good time while doing it!
With more than 400 hair professionals, leading brands, sponsors and industry friends filling the iconic Covent Garden venue, the atmosphere was electric from the moment the doors opened.
The Pro Hair Awards shine a spotlight on the people who make the professional hair industry what it is – from exceptional colourists, stylists and extensionists to educators, salon teams, independents and specialists who continue to push their craft, creativity and businesses forward.
Across 19 categories, this year’s finalists represented an incredible breadth of talent, with each winner taking to the stage to collect their coveted Pro Hair Award in front of an audience of friends, peers and some of the biggest names in the industry. The award ceremony was overseen by global session stylist and industry favourite, Lisa Farrell, who most definitely brought the razzmatazz to her hosting duties.
But while there were 19 trophies to be won, the night was about celebrating every finalist who had earnt their place in the room. And celebrate they did…
From the first welcome drinks to the final award of the evening, STEREO provided the perfect backdrop – combining awards-night glamour with the energy of one of Covent Garden’s most exciting venues. Once the final trophy had been presented, it was time toreally celebrate, as guests, finalists and winners all hit the dancefloor for the official after party!
The Pro Hair Awards would not be possible without the fantastic professional brands that support the event and the industry it celebrates. A huge thank you goes to all the 2026 sponsors who helped make this year’s Awards such a memorable occasion.
“What a night! The Pro Hair Awards are all about celebrating the incredible people who make this industry so special, and to see more than 400 of us together at STEREO was amazing. There was so much talent in the room and such a brilliant atmosphere. Huge congratulations to every one of our finalists and, of course, our 19 very deserving winners. We hope everyone went home with some fantastic memories!” – Nicola Shannon, Pro Hair Editorial Director
