Creative Oceanic is delighted to host The 9th Official Welsh Hair and Beauty Awards 2023.
The Welsh Hair and Beauty Awards have become the leading celebration of the hair and beauty professionals that operate in the country and Creative Oceanic are excited to host them again for the 9th year.
Incredible contenders ranging from stylists, colour technicians, barbers, academies and salons amongst other are to receive an award this year in a memorable celebration that will take place in the Spring.
The ceremony, which will be held in Cardiff, promises to be a night to remember, dedicated exclusively to those who work tirelessly to make us look our best by following the latest trends and using creative techniques that result in flawless looks.
Campaign Manager of The Welsh Hair and Beauty Awards 2023 said: “Some of the most iconic stylists, beauticians and well-known salons got shortlisted in this year’s Welsh Hair and Beauty Awards, making it a really fierce competition.
“Our aim is to highlight the strong presence and profitability of the country’s hair and beauty industry and recognise the professionals whose talent, ethos and excellence have put them forward to receive the recognition they deserve.
