BRITISH BEAUTY & SPA AWARDS LAUNCHED

Rewarding and recognising the best in the beauty and spa industry, the British Beauty & Spa Awards reflect the way in which the beauty industry has developed over recent years. The 2007 British Beauty & Spa Awards celebrate both business acumen and hands-on treatments and procedures from salons, spa’s and individuals within the British beauty industry.

“From the inception of the British Beauty and Spa Awards 11 years ago, we wanted to recognise and reward excellence, innovation and professionalism by businesses and individuals within the beauty industry, and each year the number of entries we receive are a fantastic testimony to the British beauty industry. There are so many dedicated and professional therapists, salons and spas in the UK, ” comments Publisher/Editor-in-Chief of Health & Beauty Salon, Jayne Lewis-Orr.

To enter the British Beauty & Spa Awards, salons, spas and individuals initially select the category they would like to enter. They then have to fulfil the criteria set down for each individual category. Once completed, the entry - along with any evidence is sent to the event organisers where it will be registered, checked through and then put through the judging process. Finalists aren'tified by letter and winners will be announced at the British Beauty & Spa Awards on Sunday 9th September 2007 at the Royal Lancaster Hotel in London.

The beauty industry is one that is constantly in the public eye. Everyone wants to look good and feel fantastic, and the British Beauty & Spa Awards celebrate the high standards that can be found in salons and spas throughout the United Kingdom. The sponsors of the British Beauty & Spa Awards products can be found on any beauty fanatic’s bathroom shelf.
