Recognising
all hair & beauty professionals
Presented by The Lions Barber Collective
The professional hair and beauty industry has some of the most caring and compassionate individuals whose efforts go way beyond the call of duty.
The Collective Pride Awards are designed to recognise unsung heroes in the professional hair, beauty and barbering arena, acknowledge teams or individuals who have helped and supported people struggling with mental health or emotional wellbeing. Collective Pride heroes are those who not only deliver exceptional hair and beauty services day in, day out – but go the extra mile to help others in a time of need, genuinely making a difference to someone’s life.
The Awards
There are eight award categories, designed to salute individuals and teams who have gone above and beyond the call of duty. Every nomination will be given equal consideration by a respected board of specialist judges. The most deserving recipient in each category is then invited to attend the Collective Pride Awards night, being held in London’s prestigious and historic Barber-Surgeons’ Hall on 17th January 2022.
Beyond Business Award
Awarded to the hair salon, barbershop, nail spa or beauty salon where effort goes beyond business expectation, which does way more than competitors and is at the hub of the community.
