The Rainbow Room International Annual Congress gathers all Director’s and salon teams from Rainbow Room International’s eleven salons to award the hard work and dedication.

From the Self Improvement award for Stylists who have improved significantly from the previous year to Commendation Awards based on Stylists’ number of total Clients. Awards are also provided for those who have excelled with their social media content and for two of the most sought after awards Fantastic Hairdresser and Salon Team of the Year.

Champagne Reception
The evening started with a champagne reception and salon team photographs before a delicious dinner with wine was served ahead of the anticipated awards ceremony.

On Stage
Following dinner, Alan Stewart, Co-Founder of Rainbow Room International with Linda Stewart, took to the stage to thank everyone for coming and for their hard work and dedication to the brand over the past year. Alan mentioned that this year it was a challenging decision for the judges to decide the award winners, with all entries being of an extremely high standard.

Celebrating
Following the awards, the night ended with live music from the band Groove Supply (led by Breck Stewart – Alan and Linda Stewart’s son) and all salon teams dancing the night away celebrating their successes and looking forward to another prosperous year in 2024.

Encouragement Works
“Our Annual Congress was a fantastic evening – it’s great to get all our teams together and see such a magical team spirit. The concept of our awards scheme is based on two cultures of success, the western culture where awards are presented for 1st, 2nd and 3rd, and the eastern culture of Kaizen (a Japanese word for continuous improvement). We believe that each member of our team is special and deserves their own recognition of success. As Teachers and Coaches, our job is to constantly reaffirm that we should not fear failures along the way and try to ensure that encouragement is always given to individual members. One of our great rewards in the industry is to see a constant intake of School Leavers join our team, with their dreams big, shiny and bright. It re-energises us to watch their progress. Helping them grow and achieve their ambitions is the measure of our success,”-  Alan and Linda Stewart, Co-Founders of Rainbow Room International.
