nhbf top 100 influencers

The NHBF’s Top 100 Influencer Index made a comeback last week. Following a successful launch in 2021, it’s clear these awards are here for the long haul. The Top 20 were announced at an exclusive event held at Electric Space, London. The event was sponsored by Pirkx, City and Guilds and The Hair & Beauty Charity.

Keeks Reid, freelance Beauty Editor, hosted a packed award event, where the Top 20 found out the exact number at which they rank. The event was also live streamed on the NHBF’s YouTube channel.

21 to 100

The 100 – 21 Top Influencers were announced on the NHBF’s social channels last week, with lots of new faces making the list. The Index provides an opportunity to recognise those in the industry that use social media to influence the sector. 

Back in July, the NHBF invited nominations from professionals currently working in the hairdressing, barbering, beauty, wellbeing or aesthetics industries. From an initial list of hundreds of nominations, an independent expert company then analysed these nominations based on the following data metrics to reach the Top 100.

  • Followers – the number of people following the nominees
  • Engagement – the number of mentions, shares, links and impressions of the nominees’ posts
  • Reach – how many people have seen the nominees’ posts

NHBF chief executive Richard Lambert says, “Jamie Genevieve is one of the biggest beauty influencers that there is. It was no surprise that she came straight in at number one, followed closely by last year’s winner, Caroline Hirons.

It’s been fascinating to see the ups, downs and new entries across the rest of the Index.  The Top 100 Influencers Index isn’t just about numbers and reach, but influence and engagement. Ours is one of the UK’s most social media aware industries and we wanted to pay homage to those who use their channels to share their knowledge and opinions, and those who promote our industry in such a positive way.”
