What a night! The Salon Business Global Awards 2025/26 lit up the 12th Knot, Sea Containers London, bringing together the best in hair for a spectacular celebration. With stunning views of the River Thames, the industry’s top talent gathered to honour creativity, innovation, and business brilliance.

As one of the most exciting nights in the salon world, the awards recognised outstanding achievements across multiple categories, with winners representing the very best in the business. The rooftop venue was buzzing with energy, as salon owners, hairdressers, brand owners and sponsors came together to celebrate, connect, and raise a glass to hard-earned success.

Joanne Charlton, SB Awards Founder, said: “The talent this year was absolutely incredible across every category, and seeing how the industry has come together is testament to what a wonderful world hair is.  

“This unforgettable evening wouldn’t have been possible without our amazing sponsors. A massive thank you to Remi Cachet, HairCon, and Jena for supporting the event and helping us make it such a special night. And a shoutout to Keratin Complex, who sponsored the fabulous photo booth—capturing all the fun and glamour of the evening!”
