Hair, beauty and barbering businesses from across the UK gathered at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel on Sunday for the crowning of the winners of the National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF) Business Awards.
News of these new champions came alongside an announcement made at the ceremony that the former NHF/NBF will now be known under one name as the National Hair & Beauty Federation (NHBF). This decision comes after a successful first year for the NBF, providing unparalleled support to beauty businesses.
Glittering evening
On the night nominees and guests were welcomed to the NHBF’s fabulous awards evening with a drinks reception before the winners of both the Business Awards and the NHBF’s Photographic Image of the Year were unveiled at the ceremony.
