Professional Beauty Awards Finalists 2012

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 our winners are thoroughly deserving of their trophies. The following categories have been short-listed by independent industry judges, all of which are experts in the category they are judging.
