2012 Hair Expo Awards Finalists Announced
As the longest-running and most respected hair awards in the Southern Hemisphere, the awards at Hair Expo have always attracted the cream of Australia and New Zealand’s hairdressing crop. They set the industry standard in both countries and help to promote the outstanding achievements of the region locally and to the rest of the world.
Earlier this week, the finalists for the coveted 2012 Schwarzkopf Professional Hair Expo Awards were announced. Now in their 27th year, the awards represent one of the highest accolades within the industry and honor the best creative and business talent in the region. A 20-strong panel of independent industry experts from both Australia and New Zealand spent two full days scrutinising almost 200 entries to reach the finalist selection.
After one of the largest number of submissions in years, 10 finalists were chosen to run for the top prize of Australian Hairdresser of the Year. When judging this category, the decision is based on both the entrant’s photographic collection and an in depth submission that outlines factors such as their integrity, peer recognition, entrepreneurial success, education and contribution to the advancement of the industry.
