SB Awards 2026 Entry deadline extended
The deadline to enter the Salon Business Awards 2026 has been officially extended, giving salon owners, teams and individuals extra time to submit their entries.
Originally due to close today, the new deadline is now midnight on Friday January 9, following strong demand from the industry and multiple requests for more time.
The extension offers a final opportunity for salons, stylists, educators, business leaders and brands to showcase their achievements across the past year and gain national recognition through one of the UK’s most respected professional awards programmes.
Now in its 14th year, the Salon Business Awards celebrate excellence across creativity, innovation, leadership, sustainability, education, retail and business performance — shining a spotlight on those driving the industry forward.
Founder and director of the Salon Business Awards, Joanne Charlton, said: “We’ve had an incredible response to the awards this year, and with so many brilliant entries already coming in, we wanted to give everyone who asked a fair chance to be involved. This is the final extension — and we’d love to see as many outstanding salons and professionals as possible put themselves forward.”
Entrants are encouraged to use the extra time to refine their submissions, gather supporting materials and ensure their entries fully reflect their achievements.
If you need more incentive, SB Awards Winner’s Content Creation Day is it, offered to every winner to spend the day taking part in podcasts, a professional photo shoot and experience the social media and PR workshop.
The Salon Business Awards are judged by a panel of highly respected industry experts and leaders, with finalists announced in the coming weeks ahead of the awards ceremony later this year.
Entries will now close at midnight on Friday January 9.
